Helping Paws Rescue

Mission Statement

In October of 2002, Helping Paws Rescue was
formed. Helping Paws Rescue is a non-profit group
designed to provide temporary homes for stray,
abandoned and abused animals until a quality,
permanent home can be found. Foster homes are
provided by area volunteers. The main foster home is
in Broadalbin and is managed by Karen M. Kiaunis,
LVT and Christel Krauss.

Once an animal is surrendered or recovered, Helping
Paws Rescue provides for any of the animals
medical needs through a local veterinarian. For
example, when a cat is surrendered or recovered, it
is Felv/FIV tested, wormed, vaccinated and
spayed/neutered (if age appropriate). Helping Paws
Rescue is a boundary-less organization and is open
to all animals in need, regardless of residing county
or species.

Helping Paws Rescue is a non-profit group, which
only seeks to recover cost through public support.
Monthly adoption clinics are held at Country Acres
Farm and Pet Center in Burnt Hills. Helping Paws
Rescue also holds monthly fundraisers to help
recover costs and promote spay and neuter
education. Helping Paws Rescue also helps disabled,
senior and compromised income families with the
spay/neuter needs of their pets, as funding allows.

I looked at all the
caged animals in the
shelter...the cast-offs
of human society.

I saw in their eyes
love and hope,
Fear and dread,
sadness and betrayal.

And I was angry.

"God," I said,
"this is terrible!
Why don't you do
something?"

God was silent for a
moment and then
He spoke softly.

"I have done
something," He
replied.

"I created You."
