Who we are:
Pet overpopulation is an enormous problem across America and in Southeast Kansas. Spaying and Neutering pets is the safest, and simplest way of preventing animals from from reproducing. Pawprints on the Heartland makes it both affordable and accessible.
The Pawprints Frank and Isabelle Rinehart low-cost spay/neuter van hit the road on January 27, 2000. With one licensed veterinarian and two vet techs, to date has, spayed or neutered, over 23,000 pets in the Southeast Kansas area, eliminating millions of unwanted animals.
Pawprints operates in five counties in Southeast Kansas and two counties in Missouri.
Our Mission:
To maintain a program that combats the problems of pet overpopulation in Southeast Kansas by providing the spay/neuter surgery at a reduced cost, therefore making it affordable and convenient for residents throughout the SEK area.
In cooperation with the SEK Humane Society, the ultimate goal of Pawprints is to maintain a no-kill animal shelter and provide a loving home for every animal in the area.
Your Help Is Very Much Needed!!
In the last few years Pawprints has received a majority of its financing through local donations and various grants. However, at this time these grantors are closing much of their funding requiring Pawprints to seek financing through local donors and entities to continue to operate.
Pawprints has made a huge difference in southeast Kansas and its surrounding communities. Over 28,000 pets have been spayed and neutered, having far-reaching effects on the pet overpopulation problem.
A three year fund-raising goal of $150,000 was set last year to keep the Pawprints van in operation. So far we have raised over $48,000 and we still need your help for the coming years to continue to provide these very necessary services.
We are asking that you please open your heart and your checkbook for these animals and our community. You can help make a difference!!!!
Please send donations to Pawprints on the Heartland.
Thank you in advance for helping provide a better future for these poor animals. Their only hope is you!!!

The donations sent to Pawprints helps provide financial assistance to those on low income who care for stray cats and dogs like myself. This company has agreed to help me with Spay and Neuter at an even lower cost in regards to my income level. Vouchers can be obtained by sharing your income information and also based on the number of stray animals you are caring for. This company also helps owners of personal pets as well.
At the requested $35 per animal, that in itself is a more than generous price to have your animals altered. A visit to the vet for this (and vaccinations are required) cost over $100.
To anyone that has made donations to this company, Thank You. I'm sure my two momma cats appreciate the fact of not having to care for two litters of kittens per year anymore... sometimes three... but I am more grateful than they are I'm sure !! Many other individuals and families have been aided to help spay and neuter their animals or strays that they have helped.
Animals are healthier when Spayed and Neutered. By spaying the females I have, this has helped ease my financial situation with the cost of food and litter, and sometimes medicines/supplies needed for their care.
Please make donations to this company... it benefits the Health of the Animal and eases financial burden of the care-takers... that have Too Big Of Hearts to turn them away !! Thanks !!
I have used their services before and was very pleased with the cleanliness and sanitary conditions inside this van as I looked inside. A rabies shot was also included in the price the last time I used their services... I am not sure about that at this time.
My animals have never had a problem once the surgeries were performed. My animals recovered from the surgery in a very short time and have been very healthy because of these services provided.
A personal goal for myself is to be able to make donations to this company in the future when my finances are in order by supporting myself with my Graphic Design skills. I am very grateful to the team that has taken on this mission.
Thank You Pawprints !!
