Helping Paws Animal Shelters mission is to provide shelter, food, medical care, and comfort to abandoned, neglected, and abused animals until they are placed into loving, responsible homes. Helping Paws is a no-kill animal shelter and private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Please help us celebrate 50 years (1969-2019) of serving the McHenry County Community by walking or running for the animals! We know that, thanks to you-- "Second Chances Start Here!"
