Animal Shelter
Prairie Paws Animal Shelter, founded in 1946 by Beatrice Martin Peck, is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing compassionate care and placement for animals in need. With two state-of-the-art facilities in Ottawa and Manhattan, Kansas, Prairie Paws shelters and rehabilitates approximately 2,500 animals each year, offering low-cost microchipping, pet adoptions, and reuniting lost pets with their owners. Driven by Beatrice's unwavering advocacy for helpless animals, Prairie Paws Animal Shelter continues to make a significant impact in the community, having played a pivotal role in the enactment of animal care regulations that remain in effect today. With a team of dedicated staff and volunteers, Prairie Paws is committed to creating a safer community and ensuring responsible pet ownership through education and outreach programs.Generated from the website
