Leo's Helping Paws

Leo’s Helping Paws is an all-volunteer organization based in Lancaster County. We provide financial assistance for veterinary care to non-profit, all-volunteer dog rescue groups in Pennsylvania and neighboring states that do not have the resources to pay for expensive medical care. We help those rescues pay for the care and healing of dogs in need through grants.

Our Mission is to educate the community about puppy mills and commercial breeders. Puppy mill dogs endure crowded, squalid conditions, abuse, no veterinary care or socialization, poor food, no clean water, and lack of adequate exercise space. These conditions exist in commercial puppy mills throughout the United States, with many puppy mills being right here in Lancaster County.

Leo's Helping Paws has been in existence since 2014. Leo's works to rescue and rehabilitate abused, abandoned and neglected dogs.

Who We Are

Leo’s Helping Paws provides financial assistance for veterinary care to non-profit, all-volunteer dog rescue groups in Pennsylvania and neighboring states. Our primary focus is on puppy mill dogs, educating the community about puppy mills and helping abused, abandoned and neglected dogs.

Leo’s Helping Paws is focused on reaching out to small non-profit, all-volunteer rescues that do not have the resources to pay for expensive medical care. Many of these rescues are helping dogs from puppy mills, but some are from unscrupulous backyard breeders, or from people that are cruel to their animals. We help these rescues pay for the care and healing of dogs in need through grants.
