Paws on the Plate 2024

It is a privilege to say that is the 3rd time Paws-itive Partners has brought Paws on the Platte to North Platte, NE.

Thank you to all the sponsors who quickly backed our cause.  A big thank you to the artists who passionately gave their talents.  Thank you to the businesses where the dogs went “on tour”!

Thank you to Icon Poly for manufacturing the dog statues.  Thank you to Keystone Automotive/LKQ & Levander’s Body Shop and Tire Service for providing the clear coat and applying them to every Paws on the Platte pack, including this one.

Paws on the Platte is a fundraiser which helps Paws-itive Partners do what we love to do – help animals.  Not just any animals, but the ones that need us most.

With sincerity and non-stop tail wags, thank you!

We gratefully accept donations and assure donors that every penny of every donation goes to helping animals.  We have advocated for animals for over 25 years.

Looking back on 2023, we provided financial assistance for 450 cats and dogs to be spayed/neutered.  The North Platte Pet Food Pantry served 1,636 pet owners.  Interviewed and approved adoption placements for 9 dogs and 4 cats.

Looking back on 2023, we provided and delivered medication to Lincoln County jail cats.  We provided Facebook courtesy posts for pets needing to be rehomed.  We intervened on behalf of a confined and neglected puppy.

Looking back on 2023, we trapped, neutered and returned a colony of 12 cats living in a cat colony in Sutherland, NE.  We trapped, neutered and returned other stray and feral cats in rural Lincoln County.

Looking back on 2023, we sponsored Love My Cat months in March and October, resulting in spaying and neutering 300 cats in one month.    We provided financial assistance for veterinary care for animals in North Platte Animal Shelter and Village of Hershey.

Looking back on 2023, we transported and paid for 2 medical evaluations/medications at the Colorado State University Veterinary Hospital.  We fostered an abandonded 9-month-old puppy that eventually completed and graduated from the Nebraska State Penitentiary’s Second Chance Pups Program.

Looking back in 2023, we paid emergency veterinary care (including blocked bladder, broken femur, broken hip, eye removal, amputation, live-saving cesarean section, anemia, and more) for animals that were unclaimed.
