A Helping Paw Humane Society
needs 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.
A Helping Paw, Box 387, Buzzards Bay, MA 02532.
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 Wareham
to visit our available pets!

make a fine friend for yours. She is so much

for other kitties beyond my brother. The
shelter will give the right home a very
reduced fee.
