A routine spay does more than just prevent puppies. 🛑🐶
It protects your dog from pyometra, a sudden and severe uterine infection.

Nathan almost lost his sweet dog, Lady, to this hidden disease. Thanks to emergency surgery at Minn-Kota PAAWS, she made a full recovery.....but it was a close call.

Help your pet prevent this surgery. A routine spay is safer, simpler, and keeps your best friend healthy longer.

Schedule your spay with us today at Minn-Kota Paaws. Call us at (701)-356-0523 to book your appointment!

Our friends Marshmallow Animal Shelter are overflowing with cats and have an awesome adoption special! Our very own Britny is fostering a litter (pic of her fosters in the comments-- they're CUUUUTE!) and they're available for adoption. If you're looking for a new friend, please consider a kitten or cat from Marshmallow Animal Shelter!

Happy tears! 🐾 Keeping families together is at the heart of everything we do, and 14-year-old Mishka being reunited and back home with her humans is the sweetest reminder of why.

None of this would be possible without YOU. It’s through donations and support from our incredible community that we’re able to do this work every single day, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for helping us keep pets and people together where they belong! ❤️

Every share, comment, and donation helps us bring more pets back where they belong. Thank you for being part of our PAAWS family! 🐶✨ Leave a 💛 to welcome Mishka back home!

IT'S HAPPENING!!! 🎉🎉

We cannot say thank you enough to everyone who has donated to this project—and to our Pet Food Pantry clients who have been so patient while we work to get things back up and running. 💙

This addition is going to help us serve our community so much better. It will support every part of what we do—Spay/Neuter services, Vaccine Clinics, Urgent Care and our Pet Food Pantry—while giving our growing team more room to work and care for the people and pets who need us.

We love you all. Truly. We’re so grateful you believe in this work, and we’re really darn happy to have you in it with us!

Our team will review the appointment requests and call you if we need more information. Once you get the email that your appointment is approved, you're all set!

Please wait for your confirmation email before coming to the clinic.

We’re so excited to begin offering this much-needed service to our community!

Yesterday had its moments, especially with the internet being down. But seeing our whole team work alongside Dr. Stegman and LVTs Sarah and Morgan for the first time made it a huge win. I mean look at those smiles!

Everyone pulled together to keep things running smoothly and ensure all of our patients got the best care possible. So proud of this crew and thrilled to officially welcome Dr. Stegman, Sarah, and Morgan to the Minn-Kota PAAWS family! 🐾💛
