Pairie Paws Animal Shelter relies heavily upon the generous donations of those in the community.
The Shelter now accepts tax-deductible donations via the internet through PayPal. (Please note: PayPal retains 1% of all donations.) Currently, the Shelter is accepting donations towards the General Fund, the New Building Fund, the Spay/Neuter Fund, the Gerbil Fund, and the Transportation Fund. To make a donation to any of these funds, click the appropriate link below:

The monies in the General Fund are used to provide on-going care to the animals in our facility and for the daily maintenance of our building. |
|
We are in the planning stages of supporting a new building. Our current facility is over 50 years old! Monies in this fund will be used towards those efforts. |
|
Contributions to the Spay/Neuter Fund provides families in the community assistance in spaying/neutering their cats and dogs. |
|
The Gerbil Fund was set up to help animals that have special medical needs.
|
|
The van that is currently used to transport
our animals to our off-site adoptions is in need of expensive repairs
and maintenance. The monies contributed to this fund will
be used to support this vehicle and the eventual purchase of a new
vehicle.
