🩵It's official! Our fourth location will be Salina KS on 12/13/26!🩵

💙It's official folks, Prairie Paws is adding a new location in Salina KS!
We are thrilled to be partnering with the City of Salina, KS Government to operate the animal shelter beginning 12/13/26!

We are so appreciative of all of the support and we can't wait to meet you all. We have received some really good questions so far and thought it might be helpful to post the answers here:

1. Are you hiring? Yes, all of our open positions are listed here: https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Prairie-Paws-Animal-Shelter/jobs

2. What programs can we expect to come to Salina? We intend to deliver the same programs in Salina as we do in our other communities, you can check those out on our website www.prairiepaws.org

3. How do we reach you? While we won't be onsite for another couple of months, you can email us at [email protected], or message us on this page, and you can chat with our very capable AI chat assistant on the website.

4. Will you be accepting cats at the Salina location? Yes all of our locations serve both cats and dogs, you can learn more about our admission process on our website. We are not able to serve any admissions until after 12/13/26

5. Can we make a donation specifically to the Salina location? Absolutely! You can select Salina when you donate here: https://prairiepaws.networkforgood.com/projects/112875-you-can-help-save-homeless-pets-today

6. Is Prairie Paws a no-kill organization? Yes, all of our existing locations have been certified as no-kill shelters for multiple years in a row, and it is our intent to achieve the same status in Salina. It is important to recognize that no-kill shelters still euthanize for serious medical and behavioral issues and are permitted to euthanize up to 10% of animals annually. Prairie Paws averages a euthanasia rate of 5%, well within the required number. You can view all of our impact reports and financial reports on our website https://www.prairiepaws.org/statistics

7. Are you accepting volunteers and fosters? We will absolutely accept volunteers and fosters, but we aren't quite ready to accept applications yet, follow this page for future announcements.

For any questions about the animals currently housed at the Salina Animal Shelter or to contact the on-site team please call 785-826-6535 during their open hours.

Frito has been waiting patiently for his forever home, and we would love to see this sweet boy finally get the happily-ever-after he deserves!

He’s been with us the longest, and we’re hoping his perfect person is out there just waiting to find him. He has so much love and personality to share, and it’s time for him to experience what it means to be someone’s beloved companion.

Please help Frito find his forever home! Share his post, spread the word, and let’s get this boy the family he deserves. He’s ready to trade shelter life for a couch, a leash, and a person to call his own!
