Helping Paws

About

Helping Paws was established in 2004. We have rescued and adopted out over 4000 pets so far into loving homes. Many of these animals would not have stood a chance in our animal shelters because when we rescued them they were so deathly afraid of people, which would have deemed them unadoptable. Somewhere along in their lives, someone had been very unkind to them. We feel that to capture them and put them to sleep because they are so afraid is just not acceptable. We don't give up on any dog in need. In most cases they come around within a few days although some may take a few weeks, but how ever long it takes, we will convince them that we are their friends. We have done just that with many dogs that now trust us and love us and they are happy dogs, however we now need some foster homes for some of these dogs because they trust only us and are still scared to death of other people. We need some very kind people that will show them that there are many more people out there that would love them and be kind to them too. Until they are comfortable with other people, they can not be adopted. Because of this some have been here for a long time and although they are happy here, if they could go to loving home and have a person that loves them and does not have to share with many other dogs, their lives would be better. We just have to show them that! If you would like to help to change a dogs life, please let us know. There are many to pick from and if 1 of those dogs becomes adoptable it will free up some space with us to save another life, so by fostering 1 you will be saving many. None of these dogs are mean. Just scared. You can work with them for as long or as short of time as you like. The more kind people they meet, the better. Even a week can change a life in some cases. We are a no kill pet rescue and adoption group. Pets that are too timid to be adopted are worked with until they are adoptable or they will stay with us where they feel secure for the rest of their lives.
