Helping Paws Animal Shelter

About

Helping Paws Animal Shelter’s mission is to provide shelter, food, medical care, and comfort to abandoned, neglected, and abused animals until they are placed into loving, responsible homes.

Pets available

Adoption process

When you arrive, sign in and ask to talk to someone about seeing available animals. A staff member or director can take you through our kennels or cat rooms. Please take the time to observe and notice all our pets. All of the pets deserve loving homes and our goal is to match up the right pet with the right family. If there is an animal you are interested in interacting with, ask the staff member or director you are with to meet with them in one of our quiet “meet & greet” rooms. If after socializing with an animal you are interested in adopting, ask to complete our Pre-Adopt form. Once completed, a HP Director will review your completed application with you and get clarification on anything if needed. We do not do same day adoptions. The Pre-Adopt form is then reviewed thoroughly and a decision will be made and communicated to you after all information is gathered. This ‘waiting period’ will also allow the adopter time to reflect upon the responsibility associated with adopting an animal and ensure that it is a commitment they are willing to make.
