Helping Paws Rescue Helping Paws Rescue is a federally registered non-profit that rescues dogs locally from shelters in Aylmer/London/St. Thomas, Ontario and surrounding area..

Helping Paws Rescue is a non- profit, no kill, all volunteer run animal rescue. Our mission is to rescue homeless and abandoned animals, spay, neuter and provide medical care, and then place them in foster homes until we are able to adopt them into loving homes they need and deserve! Helping Paws Rescue relies on the kindness and generosity of animal lovers like you who open their hearts and homes to help us take care of the animal orphans that desperately need our help. We hope in our efforts to make a difference that we may also educate the public as to the importance of proper animal care, spaying and neutering, and the need for rescues like ours to help animals in need. While we realize we can't save every animal, we are dedicated to making a difference, however small. We try our best to match the right dog to each potential owner. Please do your homework before adopting any rescue dog. We want to make sure that these dogs never have to worry about a safe place to lay their heads again. These dogs have a special place in our heart and we will make sure to follow-up with our dogs until we are certain that they are adjusting to their new homes and that our adoptive families are comfortable with their new addition, however long it takes. Thanks for your interest in rescue dogs. We couldn't do what we do without people like you.

🐾❤️ FRIENDS… WITH A LITTLE EXTRA CRAZY! ❤️🐾

Our babies are growing up! 🤗 And WOW, are they ever a bunch of social butterflies! 🦋🐱

These five little purr machines are full of personality, mischief, cuddles and enough energy to keep everyone entertained! 😂 They believe personal space is overrated, every human is their best friend, and purring is a full-time job! 🥰

Meet Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross and Joey! 🐾❤️ (Could these kittens BE any cuter?!) 😉

These adorable little lovebugs will be ready to find their furever homes soon, and we know they’re going to make some very lucky families smile every single day!

🏡 Interested in adding a little FRIENDS-style chaos to your life? 😂❤️

There are so many things to be thankful for. Where do we even start? ❤️🐾

Today, we’re especially thankful for our amazing volunteers who never miss a beat! Becky, Jacklyn and Joanne are busy scrubbing kennels and cleaning today, making sure our dogs have a clean, comfortable place to call home while they wait for their furever families.

We are so lucky to have a team that is always willing to step up when needed. You make a difference every single day, and we couldn’t do what we do without you! 🐶❤️

What are YOU grateful for? 🐶🐱❤️

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from our kennel to yours! 🦃🐾

A huge thank you to Cutie Patootie Grooming in Belmont for pampering our rescue boys, Stevie and Theodore, today! 🐶❤️

These two handsome guys were looking a little rough around the edges, but after their grooming, they’re feeling SO much more comfortable in their new “dues”! 😂🐾

Thank you for donating your time and talent to help our rescue dogs feel clean, comfortable and confident. It truly means so much to us!

Stevie and Theodore are giving you two big paws up! 🐾🐾

We appreciate your support of Helping Paws Rescue more than you know. ❤️

What do you think of their new look?

🚨🐾 OFFICIAL HELPING PAWS RESCUE WARNING 🐾🚨

ATTENTION ALL VOLUNTEERS:

This is your formal notice.

We need to have a little chat. 😑😂

Recently, certain volunteers were overheard saying things like:

“Wow, intake has really slowed down!”

“It’s been kind of quiet!”

“Maybe we’ll get a little break!”

😳

ARE YOU NEW HERE?!

Because apparently the Rescue Universe heard you and immediately responded:

“Hold my leash.” 🐕💀

And just like that…

📢 WE ARE FULL AGAIN.

Coincidence?

We think NOT. 😂

Therefore, effective immediately, the following statements are STRICTLY PROHIBITED:

❌ “It’s been quiet lately.”
❌ “We haven’t had many intakes.”
❌ “Things are finally slowing down.”
❌ “Maybe we’ll get a break.”
❌ “We could actually catch up!”

Any volunteer caught uttering these phrases will be immediately sentenced to:

🐶 Puppy cuddles
🐕 Dog walking
🧺 Laundry
💩 P**p scooping
📸 Intake photos
📝 Bios
💻 Adoption applications
…and possibly another dog.

You have been warned. 😂

Because within approximately 14.7 seconds of someone declaring things were “quiet,” these little faces showed up at our door. 👇

🐾 PLEASE WELCOME OUR NEWEST HELPING PAWS MEMBERS! 🐾

We’re thrilled to have them here, and we’ll be doing everything we can to get them settled, loved, vetted and ready for their next chapter. ❤️

But to our volunteers…

WE LOVE YOU.
WE APPRECIATE YOU.
BUT PLEASE STOP TALKING. 😂😂😂

There will be NO MORE comments about things being quiet.

There will be NO MORE tempting fate.

And there will ABSOLUTELY BE NO MORE SAYING…

“Well, at least we’re not getting any new dogs.”

Because we all know what happens next. 🤦‍♀️🐾

Signed,
The Extremely Tired But Still Laughing Management Team 😂🐾

🐾 MEET THE NEWEST MEMBERS OF THE HELPING PAWS CREW! 🐾

Well… looks like our quiet spell didn’t last very long! 😂

Please welcome Mama and her three adorable puppies to Helping Paws Rescue! ❤️

Mama is about 6–7 years old, and arrived with her three little ones: two boys and one girl. They are 3 weeks old. They’re just starting their journey with us, and we can’t wait to watch this little family grow, learn, play and eventually find their forever homes. 🥰

Mom is the sweetest and is such a good mama

But there’s one little problem…

THEY NEED NAMES! 🐶🐶🐶🐶

Mama doesn’t have a name yet, and neither do her puppies!

So we need your help! Drop your best name ideas in the comments. You can name Mama, a puppy, or come up with a whole adorable family theme!

Follow along because you’ll get to watch these little ones grow up right here at Helping Paws. ❤️

And trust us… puppy pictures are coming! 😍🐾

Welcome to the Helping Paws family, sweet babies. You’re safe now. ❤️

Sometimes the transformation isn’t just about how a dog looks.

It’s the first time they wag their tail.

The first time they choose to come closer.

The first time they fall asleep completely relaxed.

The first time they realize they’re safe. ❤️

That’s rescue.

And THIS is why we do what we do. 🐾
