We share how Prairie Paws turned Manhattan’s shelter into a welcoming, high-performing no-kill operation, growing regional coverage while managing capacity with care. Contracts, smarter intakes, and targeted upgrades help us save more animals without sacrificing standards.

• nonprofit management replacing city operation
• 95–96% live release with complex intakes
• true capacity as staffing and time, not cages
• managed intakes and prevention support
• expanded contracts across Riley and Pottawatomie
• kennel upgrades boosting annual dog saves
• donations funding medical cases beyond contracts
• holiday adoption guidance and readiness checks
• hours, website, and spring gala details

We have a fundraising gala coming up in April at Colbert Hills—tickets and sponsorships available at prairiepaws.org
