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. Helping Paws was the first animal welfare organization established in McHenry County. Helping Paws initially provided foster homes for stray animals. This was at our first location, on Rt. 14, across from Andy's Restaurant. Newspaper ads were used to help find homes for the animals. The foster care program continued to grow. In 1995, Helping Paws moved into it's first facility on Ridgefield Road. This building could only hold cats. In September of 1998, Helping Paws moved into it's current location in the old Culligan building. Our new facility can now take both cats and dogs.
