Our Story
Helping Paws Animal Network (HPAN) was established in April 2011 by a dedicated group of animal lovers in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Officially incorporated as a nonprofit in August 2013, HPAN has since expanded its reach and impact, providing vital support to local rescue groups. The organization focuses on verifying the needs of these groups and offering financial assistance for essential services such as food, shelter, veterinary care, and boarding for animals in distress.
