Share the Love With Homeless Animals at Helping Paws

Helping Paws Animal Shelter is partnering with local businesses from February 1- 29 with their 3rd annual Have a Heart for Paws campaign.

Love is all you need to make a difference in a pet’s life! During the month of February, participating businesses will take donations for Helping Paws. Donors who wish to participate can make a donation of $1 or more and write their name on a paw print which will be displayed at the business showing community support. Donors can also pick up a “wish list” and drop off donations of food and supplies. 100% of the funds and supplies donated go towards the feeding and care of the homeless animals at Helping Paws Animal Shelter waiting for their forever homes.

Participating locations for the Have a Heart for Paws campaign, besides Helping Paws, include:

  • Camp Bow Wow-McHenry
  • Charlie’s Doghouse-Crystal Lake
  • Julie Ann’s Frozen Custard-Crystal Lake
  • Nature’s Balance Acupuncture-Crystal Lake
  • Thomas’ Tails-Crystal Lake
  • Nature’s Feed-Spring Grove
  • Read Between the Lynes-Woodstock
  • Studio 2015-Woodstock
  • Uptown Salon-Woodstock

Visit any of these locations to make a donation and to get more information about Helping Paws. If your business would like to partner with the shelter or learn about other sponsorship opportunities, please email Michelle at Paws@mc.net.
