You can make a positive difference on a daily basis by becoming a Helping Paws Guardian Angel.

 

By sponsoring a cat cage or dog kennel, Guardian Angels provide funds that care for the animal residing in that particular cage or kennel.  You will be sponsoring a temporary home for a dog or cat and you can help turn the animals’ misfortune into blessings so they will have a chance to find a permanent loving home.  Since we work hard to find all our shelter pets’ new homes as quickly as possible, you may help several animals during your sponsorship period.  You may sponsor a kennel or cage for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months or a year.

 

To honor your Guardian Angel status, we will place a plaque on your sponsored cat cage or dog kennel, which designates you as that pet’s personal Guardian Angel.  Or, if you’d prefer, you can sponsor a cage/kennel for your company, community group, organization or family.  You could sponsor a cage/kennel in memory of a beloved person or pet, to honor a person or pet or to celebrate something like a birthday or anniversary.  Additionally, you will be recognized on our website, www.helpingpaws.net, where there is the potential for thousands of visitors to see that you----or your sponsoring business or organization---- make a positive contribution when it comes to compassion and caring for homeless animals. 

 

Helping Paws receives no public funding, therefore our shelter is totally dependent upon our friends who believe in our Mission and are committed to helping us.  It is only with the support from a caring community that Helping Paws is able to continue its life-saving efforts because we are a NO-KILL shelter.

 

Our doors are always open for you to visit Helping Paws and see the animals you are helping us care for.  One look into their eyes and you will see how much they deserve and appreciate your support.

Map to our shelter

Fox Valley Helping Paws Animal Welfare Association, a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization, was founded in 1971. Helping Paws is a no-kill animal shelter for stray and abandoned dogs and cats in McHenry County and surrounding areas. The animals are provided a sanctuary where they receive medical care, spaying or neutering, daily care and love, and the opportunity to be adopted by a responsible owner.
