About Prairie Paws Animal Shelter

Based out of Ottawa, Kansas, Prairie Paws entered a partnership with the City of Manhattan to administer the 12,000 square-foot facility formerly known as the T. Russell Reitz Animal Shelter. You can learn more about Prairie Paws and see what animals are available for adoption on their website.

PRAIRIE PAWS

As a mom of two pups and a kitty, I know how special they can be. I also know what it's like when they are no longer with us! I love seeing the portraits I've made of our family pets over the years.

As a portrait photographer, I not only capture humans, but also your furry family members.

We’ll schedule a 15-20 minute phone consultation where we’ll talk all about your Pooch and I’ll fill you in on what to expect for your Pooch Playoffs portrait session.

Thank you for supporting Prairie Paws!
