🐾💦 Puppies at the Plunge! 💦🐾

Everyone loves the Pawnee Plunge—and in our opinion, every dog should have their day too. 🐶✨

📅 August 17th at Pawnee Plunge Waterpark

We’ll have two sessions for pups to take the plunge:
✅ Smaller Breeds: 4:00 – 5:30 pm
✅ Larger Breeds: 6:00 – 7:30 pm

Please note there will be a 30-minute break between sessions for staff to clean up and get ready for the next group of dogs!

💲 Cost: $10 per puppy
*Individuals who want to participate in both sessions must exit between the two sessions and pay for the second session.

❤️ A portion of the money will be donated to the Paws and Claws Adoption Center!

Important Notes:
✅ The event will take place in the zero-depth pool only.
✅ There will be little to no (1 ppm or less) chlorine in the water. Humans will not be allowed deeper than their knees.
✅ Dogs must be socialized. Unruly dogs and/or owners will be asked to leave without a refund.

✨ Let your pup cool off, swim, and have the time of their life! Come splash with us for a doggone good cause.

🐾 Paws and Claws Adoption Center is Looking for Volunteers! 🐾

Are you passionate about animals? Want to make a difference in the lives of dogs and cats in need? Join us at Paws and Claws Adoption Center as a volunteer!

We’re currently welcoming new and returning volunteers to help with all kinds of shelter tasks — from walking dogs and socializing cats to cleaning, organizing donations, and helping at events and MORE!! Every little bit helps, and the animals LOVE the extra attention!

✨ No experience needed — just a love for animals
✨ Flexible hours — come in when you can
✨ Great for students, retirees, or anyone looking to give back

📣 IMPORTANT: All new volunteers must complete one morning cleaning session (8:00–10:30 AM). This helps you get a real feel for the daily life and hard work that goes into caring for shelter animals!

Interested? Call us at 402-562-5683 or fill out the volunteer application form in the comments or message us or stop by to sign up! 🐶🐱

Help us save lives, one paw at a time. 💛

🐶 🏡 30+ Days in the Shelter?! Our Dogs Are Starting to Think They Work Here. 😩

Help these long-stay legends RETIRE from shelter life and get the couch they deserve. 🛋️

For just $50, you get:
✅ A dog who’s spayed/neutered
✅ Vaccinated against the doggy plagues (distemper/parvo, kennel cough, rabies)
✅ Microchipped so they never ghost you 🧬
✅ Heartworm tested (negative – we checked twice!)
✅ Dewormed, flea/tick treated, AND seen by real-life veterinarians (not just WebMD)
✅ Bonus: A best friend who won’t judge your weird snacks or binge-watching habits 💖

They’ve been here over 30 days, which in dog years is basically forever.
Adopt one and be their hero. Or at least give them a spot on your bed. 🐾

📸 Swipe through the photos — they’re ready for their modeling contracts AND forever homes.

🚨 Warning: Adopting one of these dogs may result in excessive tail wags, loyalty for life, and being followed to the bathroom forever.

🐾💛 THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR PAWS! 💛🐾

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and filled with joy! Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our amazing community, our shelter babies have full bellies, clean kennels and bowls, and so much love.

Whether you donated dog food, cat food, cleaning supplies, or gift cards, YOU made a huge difference. Because of you, tails are wagging, purrs are echoing, and our furry friends feel a little more safe and a lot more loved.

Every can of food, every scoop of litter, every dollar you gave helps us continue rescuing, healing, and rehoming animals in need. Your support gives them hope… and gives us the strength to keep going.

From all of us at Paws ans Claws Adoption Center—human and animal alike—THANK YOU. 🐶🐱💚

With love,
Paws and Claws Team 🐾
