When our family decided we were ready for a dog, we had several factors we needed to consider. We…read morehave a yard, but it isn't fenced-in. I used to get allergy symptoms around our Labrador mix in high school, but when I'm around my friend's German Shepherd nowadays, I'm ok. But I was leaning toward hypo breeds just in case. The biggest factor in our decision was that: we wanted a rescue doggo, and preferably not exactly puppy age but just a bit older. So I looked at and monitored animal shelters all over NE Kansas. I quickly noticed that dogs who got close to fitting our criteria were very quickly adopted or were considered high profile animals that demanded much higher adoption fees (into the hundreds) which was a major letdown. But then I expanded my search to Prairie Paws in Ottawa, KS, and I'm so glad I did. Not only was there a variety of healthy, adorable pets, but the facility is new and inviting. It's next door to a veterinarian clinic. You notice as you pull up that you're greeted by a dog run-type area. And the staff and volunteers truly love everything about what they do. The dog we chose fit all of our criteria and more. I mean, he walks in his hind legs. That's just bonus! We noticed how much he loved the staff, and that spoke volumes to the level of care he received in the short amount of time he spent there. All of our questions were answered patiently and thoroughly. While our family was going through this adoption experience, we noticed that Prairie Paws does a ton of events for the animals, volunteers, and community. Once I got on their social media, I noticed that they promote the work they do in order to be awarded grant money to expand that. I was so impressed. We all were. As soon as we got our new little guy home, he stood on his hind legs and looked at me as if to ask if it was ok to get on the couch. I said that it was and my son patted the space next to him. Then he hopped up on the couch, promptly plopped down, gave a huge sigh, and fell right so sleep. He knew he was home.

Didn't go due to their lack of concern for my dog. Asked for a quote about some cancer medicine, was told they would get back with us, it's been a week since the request. Could of directed us in a different direction but couldn't even call us back. They don't give a crap about pets only the profits. I wouldn't trust taking a snake to them. If I could give them a negative star I would. If they can't take the time to make a phone call with the urgency of the subject, then they shouldn't be in business.

It is simple to schedule appointments with them and their hours extend to 6:00pm on weekdays and Saturday mornings. The timing is very rare around here as many places in Carbondale are closed at 4:30pm or 5:00pm, making it difficult for people who work in Topeka to utilize their local services. I have also found that their prices are very reasonable in comparison to other vets in the region.

Before we started coming here they had not done alot with rabbits but they were more then willing to help with what they could. We have come to them for horses, cats, dogs, rabbits all with health issues and also to have animals put down (they send a sympathy card after). The staff is amazing, they will always remember your name. They have a secretary names Gina who is just an amazing person. She teaches puppy/dog classes that are WORTH IT! Petco charges $100 for 6 weeks of class; this clinic charges $65 for 7 weeks of class. They accept a Care Credit card and are more then happy to work with you in a payment situation. They do sell Science Diet food for both cats and dogs, along with leashes, collars, treats, toys and identification tags. I suggest going to this clinic to everyone! They are amazing with animals and really know what they are doing.
