The adult cat pictured here doesn't stand a chance against the competiiton. However an adult is already established in personality and oft times has been spayed or neutered upon adoption. Please read over the adult cats listed for adoption...they need new homes and now. HELPING PAWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 205 • Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014 (•15) 459-2441 by Estello Atwell Helping Paws has been on the job in McHenry county for a long time now and operates from a small office space in Crystal Lake, with no shelter of its own. The need to expand is critical if HP is to keep up with the continuing and growing demand for its services, and members are currently searching for new quarters to rent, to serve as a mini shelter and office space. Crystal Lake is a good cen­ tral point in the county, and a storefront location there, easily accessible to the public, would serve the purpose very well. But attempts to relocate so far have been unsuccessful because there's just not much of anything like this available. The location would be used as a mini shelter and mini clinic, with dogs and cats coming in and going to foster homes after being given a physical examination and shots. It would serve as a place where the public will be welcome to drop in for a visit ; where they will receive help with problems; where an educational learning center will be established; where actual pet adoptions will be handled. It would take about 800 square feet of space to do the job correctly. A gracious donor has offered to contribute to the monthly rent. And this year's fund- raising efforts have been the most successful ever. HP is grateful to all who have been so generous, and pledges to use the funds wisely to benefit more and more of the county's pets. So HP takes its problem to the public again as there have been many proofs of the public's loyalty and assistance in the past. Somewhere there may be a reader who can provide a lead on space that would be appropriate. Anyone having such information please call the office, 459-2641, or evenings 312-658-7221 where Ron and Mary Nelson will happily accept any leads and pursue them. Ideally, renting a house on B3 zoned farm property would be best of all: The more -space, the more animals can be helped. The Helping Pawsmobile is still very much in the. works and will becorite a part of the program as soon as weather permits. It will be a travelling mini shelter roaming around McHnery county. Look for us - we'll be there. . DOGS FOR ADOPTION Adoption fees include spaying or neutering from a vet of our choice.
