Since 1998
Helping Animals & Educating on Spay/Neuter
Our History
PAWS-itive Partners is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 corporation and is comprised of volunteers who wish to better the lives of animals.
PAWS-itive Partners Humane Society, Inc., (PPHS), was formed in 1998 by a group of animal lovers to promote responsible pet ownership, implement spay/neuter programs in order to control pet overpopulation, promote the adoption of homeless animals and to be supportive of the animals at North Platte Animal Shelter.
PAWS-itive Partners has no paid directors and does not pay any administrative or fundraising fees. PAWS-itive Partners is not affiliated with city or county governments. Although we strongly support the animals at the North Platte Animal Shelter, we are separate from them.

Save a Life
Why Spay/Neuter?
Overpopulation
In 3 years time, an intact cat can produce 382 additional cats. In the same amount of time, a dog can produce an additional 512 dogs.
Spaying and neutering can help control the pet population and reduce the number of animals euthanized in shelters.
Improved Health
Lifespan is increased 3-5 years on average.
Eliminate Behavior Issues
Roaming can expose animals to fights with other animals, resulting in injuries and infections, trauma from vehicle collisions and other accidental mishaps.
Intact dogs are more prone to urine-marking. Although usually associated with male dogs, females may do it too. Spaying or neutering your dog should reduce urine-marking and may even stop it altogether.
For cats, the urge to spray is extremely strong in those not altered.
In both cats and dogs, the longer you wait, the greater the risk of the practiced behavior becoming permanent.
