A Helping Paw Humane Societyneeds your help!
We are in desperate need of volunteers to help run our new facility! Please call
508-759-2887.3166 Cranberry Highway, E. Wareham
Special Public Notice: $30,000 more needed.
A Helping Paw MUST raise $40,000 By December 2008 or we will be forced to close our doors forever. Unlike most shelters who rely on steady income provided by town contracts, we rely 100% on public support. Our monthly donations have been about 80% lower in the past three months. Our shelter/rescue has provided crucial services
to the public and homeless pets of this area for 10 years. It would be devastating to this area to lose such a vital organization.
Please support our work of ending the needless killing of pets. The pets NEED you to save their shelter.

Cats N’ Crisis Program Saving Lives!
We are ecstatic to announce that in the last two weeks we have offered reduced adoption fees for many of our hard to place cats as an experiment to see if we could increase adoptions
during this poor economy, yet still ensure the pets were going to great homes! It is working!!!!! Beyond our regular adoptions we have placed 5 long-time residents in new homes. They had
been with us from 6 months to two years! The new families have already checked in stating that they simply can't
understand why nobody else wanted these pets, they adore them! Send a pet HOME. Sponsor a pet today!
Please call 508-759-2887 or stop by 3166 Cranberry Hwy, East Warehamto visit our available pets!

CHIANTI… What a fun and loving little girl. Her brothers were adopted long ago yet here she waits for her forever home. She is surely growing up fast and would simply
adore her own home to run and play in. She gets along with other kitties wonderfully and would make a fine friend for yours. She is so much fun and full of play, a very interactive
kitty.
If interested in adopting, please call 508-759-2887 or stop by 3166 Cranberry Highway E. Wareham, MA
OLLIE & KUKLA… we are a brother sis pair of kittens that were rescued from the streets. Though my brother Ollie is very nervous, he has made a lot of progress and now enjoys love and attention from humans. I'm much more outgoing, but I don't really care much for other kitties beyond my brother. The shelter will give the right home a very reduced fee.
