Welcome to A Helping Paw's

~Whiskers' Thrift Shop~

One of the only thrift shops in Massachusetts that raises funds for homeless and needy pets. Our shop, opened in 2000, is one-of-a-kind: Our shop makes 'thrift shopping' fun and affordable again, with our amazing low prices you are always sure to find a bargain. The shop is uniquely designed in combination with our pet shelter. Large glass viewing windows allow visitors to watch the antics of our pets while they visit. Of course were hoping you'll fall in love and give a pet a forever home. Every penny from your purchases goes directly towards the housing and care of hundreds of pets each year. In addition, we are very community focused. After all, it takes a community working together to end the killing of innocent pets. In 2008 we gave back over $10,000 in medical funding to low-income pet owners. As well, our "Pet Food Pantry", helps feed hundreds of pets and feral cats. Long ago we decided the traditional way of  handling homeless animals isn't working. Increasingly more and more pets are given up and more and more are being destroyed due to lack of homes. Our goal is to change 'traditional' sheltering by working directly with the public enlisting their help and encouraging everyone to do their small part.  We hope you will join us in our efforts and ensure a brighter future for all pets.
