Helping Paws is a 501(c)3 non-profit no-kill shelter that was organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. Specifically, Helping Paws rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes abandoned, neglected, surrendered, and stray dogs and cats that would otherwise face euthanasia. All our rescues are evaluated regarding their health, temperament, and other characteristics to evaluate their suitability for placement into adoption homes. Helping Paws provides excellent care for each pet, medical and emotional, and matches each pet with the best home for its needs in order to ensure a lifetime of safety, love and companionship.
