Fur the Love of PAWS Rescue

Fur the Love of PAWS is a state licensed and 501c3 non profit animal rescue dedicated to finding homes or rescue for animals at the North Platte Animal Shelter through evaluating the dogs and cats, creating and providing the pets with information tags for their shelter kennel, taking pictures and videos for online networking and helping to link up potential adopters with pets in need. Our primary goal is to save the pets in our local shelter. We give names to the nameless, tags to the unknown and hope for the hopeless.
We provide vet care, foster homes and assistance rehoming for certain pets in need at the shelter; such as those who are injured, ill, or those who are not acclimating well in the shelter environment, or those whose time is up.
All animals pulled into FUR Rescue are fully vetted by our veterinarians and assessed in a foster home to get to know their personality and likes/dislikes. Adoptions require (simple) applications and a short process to help provide a forever fit and reassurance of our commitment to the pets that we rescue and agreements to solidify the pets well being for the entirety of their life. Contact us for more info.

What we do is called 'shelter rescue.' Our city operates a city run facility, basically animal control with housing. It is not a humane society or an adoption agency. The staff is small and unable to focus on adoptions - which is our organizations priority.
Our primary goal is to save lives at our local shelter. We focus on the lives there, and saving as many as possible.

Fur the Love of PAWS also rescues and provides vet care, foster homes and rehoming for animals in need within the community, when we are able.

Additional adoption info

There is a simple adoption application and short process required prior to adopting an animal. There is an adoption donation/fee applied to all pets. These fees help cover the veterinary care we have provided for the animals while they wait for homes. All of our rescues are fully vetted (including but not limited to - spaying/neutering, full vaccines, dewormed, heartworm tests or FIV/FeLV tests, on flea/tick/heartworm prevention and treated for ear mites - as well as any additional things they need such as surgeries, dentals, etc.)

Please remember.......our first and ONLY consideration is the safety and happiness of our dogs and cats. We use the application to help ensure the perfect fit for the pet and the family. A lot of love is invested into our rescues, and we want their next home, to be their final home.
Please don't be put off by the simple process, it's easy and worth it! By adopting from the rescue you get a healthy, vetted pet. You get a head start on knowing their personality, likes, dislikes and you help us to help more in need.
