WAITING FOR HOMES
You can’t do everything but
YOU can do SOMETHING
Please do your homework before adopting any rescue dog. We want to make sure that these dogs never have to worry about a safe place to lay their heads again. These dogs have a special place in our heart and we will make sure to follow-up with our dogs until we are certain that they are adjusting to their new homes and that our adoptive families are comfortable with their new addition, however long it takes. Thanks for your interest in rescue dogs. We couldn’t do what we do without people like you.

About Us
Helping Paws Rescue is a non-profit, no kill, 100% volunteer-run animal rescue. Our mission is to rescue homeless and abandoned animals, spay, neuter and provide medical care, and then place them in foster homes until we are able to adopt them into loving homes they need and deserve! Helping Paws Rescue relies on the kindness and generosity of animal lovers like you who open their hearts and homes to help us take care of the animal orphans that desperately need our help.
We hope in our efforts to make a difference that we may also educate the public as to the importance of proper animal care, spaying and neutering, and the need for rescues like ours to help animals in need. While we realize we can’t save every animal, we are dedicated to making a difference, however small. We try our best to match the right dog to each potential owner.
