Bella has been missing since Friday at 2:00 PM. The wind blew the door open and Bella escaped. Missing from the northwest part of North Platte, but has been seen by Westfield and Tyler Court. That means Bella has crossed the railroad tracks and could be anywhere.
Bella is very timid and probably afraid to approach anyone.
If you see Bella, please call Hope at 308-530–6871 immediately.

It is winter and we are in yet another arctic blast. Rescues and organizations shouldn’t have to put out pleas regarding pets and being outside in this weather but as long as people continue to let their pets remain outside and not give them adequate shelter and care, these pleas will continue.

The best option will always be allowing your pets indoors during cold weather. Older pets and babies should be inside when temperatures drop below 40 degrees and everyone should be inside when it hits 20 degrees. If wind chills drop the air to these temps or below, they need to come inside. Hypothermia, frostbite and death occur within minutes when temps and windchill get to and below freezing. If allowing your pets inside is not an option, you can do the following to make sure they will be safe and warm in this weather:

• Make sure dog shelters are made of solid wood with a flap on the opening. Plastic kennels do not keep the cold air out and do not stay warm.
• If you are caring for cats, shelters can be purchased or made from Styrofoam coolers filled with straw and/or a combination of coolers and totes and filled with straw. There are a lot of tutorials out there on how to make cat shelters.
• The opening of a shelter should face away from the wind.
• Fill the shelter with straw. Do not use blankets or hay as they absorb moisture and freeze, turning the shelter into an ice box and freezing the animal to death.
• Make sure they have fresh water. Water bowls will freeze. Utilize a heated water bowl or other means to keep the water from freezing such as a pinch of sugar in the water; placing the bowl in sunlight; placing hand warmers or microwavable pads underneath; use deep narrow bowls; use dark bowls to absorb the sunlight; place a couple ping pong balls in the water to slow freezing and sink a bowl into a Styrofoam box for insulation.

Make sure your animals stay dry and out of the wind during the arctic blast. If your animal likes to play or go for walks in the cold weather, monitor their ears and toes while outside as they are easily susceptible to frost bite quickly. Keep a towel with you and check between toes often for ice build up and clean off their feet. When they come inside, dry off their feet and stomachs immediately. Use of coats, sweaters and booties will help them stay warm and safe while outside.

Donald is looking for a new home. He is an 8 month old blue heeler/terrier cross who is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on shots and loves other dogs. Unknown how he is with cats and is known to knibble so no younger children at this time. He is a jumper so a fence is a must until trained to no longer jump. Donald needs a home that has time to work with him to build his skills to be an amazing cattle dog helping work cattle or sheep or any live stock or possibly get him involved in agility. He is young with lots of energy.. Donald is still a baby so he isn't 100% potty trained yet. He's maybe 90% potty trained. If you are interested, call Shyann at 3086609192. Donald is located in Hershey, NE.

This gem of a dog is still available for adoption. Indy is a very happy, sweet and loving gal who is all about her tennis balls. She is up-to-date on her vaccinations and will be spayed at the end of the month. She does have a very mild case of hip dysplasia in her left hip that she will need to take daily supplements to keep her hip joint in good shape. It doesn't seem to bother her as she is very active and loves to play and run around. She could play all day with her tennis balls, if allowed. Indy would make a great addition to any home. She is shy and timid at first but once she gets to know you, everything is all right. She gets along with dogs, cats and children. If interested, fill out an adoption application and a member will be in touch to discuss Indy and schedule a meet and greet. You can call 308-520-1095 or 308-530-7588 to inquire.

Indie and her mom will have to leave the friend's home tomorrow. Indie's mom's friends can't let her stay beyond tomorrow and she will have to be in a car or somewhere else.
Please consider taking Indie for a short term foster. She gets along well with kids and cats, but isn't comfortable with other dogs. Indie had an abusive puppyhood so after her rescue, she became very bonded to her mom. Very snuggly; content to be a couch dog.
Please call 308-530-1516 if you can help.

This sweet girl needs a foster home while her owner finds a new residence.

Indie is content to lay on the couch and snuggle with her human all day. She gets along well with children and cats, but more particular and timid about dogs. Indie is UTD. Needs a fenced yard but is an inside pet. House trained.

Indie comes with her own food and toys. The estimated time of foster care is two months. Indie's owner would like regular contact with her during that time.

This is a courtesy post. Call 308-530-1516.

Our sweet, ball loving Indie is still available for adoption. She would make a great addition to any active home.

We are now accepting adoption applications for Indie. Indie is a 2.5 year old yellow lab. She is very friendly, smart, energetic and playful. She gets along well with other animals both dogs and cats. She is very shy and timid at first meeting, but does warm up once she trusts you. She loves to play especially with balls. She is very smart and quickly learned the rules of the house and is housebroke.

Indie is up to date on vaccinations and will be spayed at the end of January. Indie does have some issues with her hips but the extent will not be known until she is spayed when x-rays can be taken. Indie was too apprehensive to get x-rays while awake so they have to wait for her to be sedated. Indie was started on supplements to help and is something she will need for the rest of her life.

The first step in the adoption process is filling out an adoption application. The second step is vet and personal reference checks. Once the references are completed, members will contact applicants that appear to be a fit for Indie to schedule a meet and greet. Initial meet and greets will occur at the foster home between the applicants and Indie. The adoption application can be found at pawsitivepartnersnp.com/dog-application

Moriah's world turned upside down Friday night when her owner passed away unexpectedly. Paws-itive Partners has been asked to find Moriah a new home.

Moriah is an affectionate, sweet girl. She's 7-8 years old, good with other dogs and probably good with cats. Moriah is a Great Pyrenees mix, about the size of a Labrador but much fluffier. Moriah is not a working dog.
She enjoys being outside, but is definitely a house pet. Moriah is house trained and up-to-date on vaccines.

This poor girl is confused and scared. Her human mom was the only person she is used to. We need help to find Moriah a calm foster home. Patience and understanding of Moriah's loss is a must.

Please call or text 308-530-1516.

It's been very busy for Paws-itive Partners the past few weeks. It seems we are always busy, but fosters, surrenders and medical emergencies seem to have come one right after the next.
We told you about the Chihuahuas, Buddy and Sandy, that came into our Urgent Short-term Pet Care program. Their owner transitioned into hospice and we needed to find a loving home for the wee ones.
Yesterday, Buddy and Sandy were adopted! They have started new lives with new people loving them. They are furever home. Thank you Jessica and Brad. 🐶🏠🐶❤️
