We are The Platte Valley Humane Society DBA The Erna R Badstieber Paws and Claws Adoption Center.
This dog came into Paws and Claws on 8/17/2024. Found at 14th Ave & 5th St in Columbus. Please contact Paws and Claws at 402-562-5683 and bring proof of ownership. You can also contact the non-emergency number at 402-564-3201 for after hours pick up.
365 days… 1 year… Jean-Pierre has been in our care for 1 whole year and not a single adoption application filled out for him. He is a 3 year old Neutered Male Border Collie mix. Gets along with children, older dogs, cats unknown. We have grown to learn so much about him and all his silly little tricks and quirks. He is a fast learner when it comes to learning new tricks. This sweet boy deserves the most amazing home with an active family who likes doing on runs or walks. Come and meet this sweet boy! 🐾💛
It’s like this everywhere. PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER.
Our intake/holding kennels are FULL! Because of this we are needing to use our main kennels as overflow.
Since some of these dogs are not fully vaccinated or do not yet belong to CNHS so we will be closing the kennels off for walking through until further update.
THIS IS TEMPORARY. We will still be conducting adoptions and allowing volunteers. Please use the website as well as staff knowledge of each animal to help your decision with who to meet!
Please call the shelter at 308-385-5305 for questions.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND UNDERSTANDING!
