Every Painted Pup Supports Local Pets in Need
Paws on the PlattePaws on the PlatTe
Paws on the Platte is a unique fundraising event hosted by Paws-itive Partners, featuring a number of fiberglass dog statues transformed into one-of-a-kind works of art. Local businesses and individuals sponsor each dog statue, while talented area artists generously donate their time and creativity to bring these dogs to life.
What began in 2018 as a one-time event quickly became a beloved tradition, thanks to the overwhelming community response and requests to bring it back year after year. Following the events Meet and Greet, artists take their statues home for two months of painting and detailing, turning each dog into a true artistic masterpiece.
The event culminates in an exciting auction, with proceeds directly benefiting dogs and cats in our community. A heartfelt thank you goes to Icon Poly for manufacturing the dog statues and to Keystone Automotive/LKQ and Levander’s Body Shop and Tire Service for providing and applying the clear coat to every statue.
Join us in celebrating creativity, community, and the love of our four-legged friends!
