HEAVENLY PAWS ANIMAL SHELTER, INC is a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation organized under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The shelter was started in June of 2004, by Angeline R. Behrendt. Mrs. Behrendt is trained as a Veterinary Technician and has provided care for sick, injured, and homeless animals for many years in her home. She founded the shelter in 2004, to expand her services and to provide safe and secure homes for more animals. The shelter is currently operating at the home of Mrs. Behrendt and thru foster homes. All services are being provided on a volunteer basis.
The mission of Heavenly Paws Animal Shelter is to provide housing, care, and treatment for sick, injured, abused, homeless, and handicapped domestic animals. The shelter will remain a no kill facility. As long as space is available, no domestic animal shall be turned away. The shelter works with local veterinarians to treat the animals and obtain all necessary vaccinations. Spay and neutering services are required to help decrease the spread of deadly diseases and help control the unwanted animal population. The shelter is also working with local municipalities to control the escalating stray cat population in York County. We strive to strengthen the human-animal relationship through education and a referral service. We speak at numerous organizations and clubs throughout the county to spread awareness.
We have also been given permission from North Codorus Township(York County) to build a facility to house more animals. We are currently working out of the President’s home and numerous foster homes. We can use your support in constructing a facility to “save more lives”.
