    I appreciated all the help from Donna, Mary, and all the wonderful people at the shelter…read more They obviously really care who the animals go to live with. Because I had a good veterinary record and my approval of my landlord,I had no trouble in adopting my wonderful dog, chicki (Chicory). I am so thrilled with my new family member and can't more highly recommend this wonderful shelter.

    At Helping Paws Animal Shelter, the adoption process is extremely unrealistic as well as unfair to…read morethe animals there. The more you interact with the shelter, the higher the bar is set for adoption, and you begin to realize they will never adopt to you. I was an animal care specialist for over 30 years at various parks and facilities and was not able to adopt from this shelter. I've cared for alligators and bats to whales and zebras and so many animals in between. I've had rescue cats my whole life who have lived long happy lives into their late teens. If someone like me is considered unqualified to give a dog or cat a home, then who is? If all shelters operated like Helping Paws, the shelters would be overcrowded to the point of not accepting animals, and very few animals would be living out good lives in loving homes. With no place left to go, these animals will likely wind up being euthanized. I gave them 2 stars because the friendly staff does take good care of their shelter, which is good because that's where the animals are likely to live for a good chunk of their short lives. It's an unfortunate situation for the animals to end up in, and what's the point of keeping animals in shelters and out of homes? In my experience in the animal care field, I have seen this before, where good intentions eventually devolve into harmful situations for the animals as people see themselves as heroes, putting egos before animal welfare. This is also harmful for potential families in what would have provided suitable, loving homes to rescues. Yes, it's good to be selective about where the animals go, but it ends up being harmful when the selection process becomes so rigid that the animals spend years of their lives in a shelter before they get adopted (if ever) because many potentially good homes are weeded out right along with the bad ones.
