| 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. |
| The Animals' Savior Copyright Jim Willis 1999 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." |
