    Please be patient in your search, and check our pet list often.  No matter what type of pet you're looking for, it's possible to find it in a shelter or rescue.    
         
       
    Helping Paws is a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization, founded in 1971. We're 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.    
         
       
   

Meet Addison. He is almost eleven months old. He came into the shelter as a kitten and is wondering why he is passed over all the time. Sometimes people don't consider a black cat. Out black cats have some of the most wonderful and playful personalities that you could ask for. Come and see Addison and see if you don't agree that he is a great cat.
