Paws-itive Partners
North Platte, Neb. - After months of anticipation, the Paws on the Platte community dog art auction is here! Twenty-six life-size dog statues will be bid on and sold Friday evening, July 26, at Pals Brewing Company. Proceeds from the auction go to support Paws-itive Partners Humane Society in North Platte.
Paws-itive Partners provides financial help to lower income pet owners to spay/neuter, aid in rehoming displaced pets and help with emergency veterinary care. The organization assists approximately 500 pets annually. The large fiberglass dog statues were painted by area artists and each is unique and one-of-a-kind.
Artists incorporated cigar bands, feathered wings, butterflies, flowers, robotic parts, and more, to carry out the theme of their dog. The styles vary from realistic to contemporary and from playful to serious. The public is invited to the auction. Even those not planning to purchase a dog statue will enjoy the evening.
Music is provided by Songscapesdj, Cartwright’s BBQ truck and Pals is available for dinner and beverages. Jeff White Auction Service will entertain the bidding audience. Paws on the Platte opens at Pals Friday at 5:00 pm and the auction begins at 6:30 pm.
