Help Us, Help Them
H.E.L.P. is a volunteer based, not for profit organization in the Fox Valley area of Illinois, 40 miles west of Chicago.
H.E.L.P. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, volunteer rescue organization. We provide veterinary care, food, and shelter for stray and abandoned cats and dogs until they are adopted into loving homes. H.E.L.P. does not have a facility.
All of our dogs and cats are in foster homes which enable us to get to know an animal so we can better match the cat/dog with the right person or family.

Consider Adopting Mara, a Very Special Kitty!
Meet Mara! Mara was saved by a good samaritan who brought her to Gateway Veterinary clinic where they fully vetted her to get her ready for adoption. They reached out to HELP to find her a forever home. Mara is a sweet calico looking for a forever home. She is extremely playful. She needs a little time to warm up to her new surroundings and then she does great. She probably would do best in a home where she has a quieter environment. She prefers to sit next to you on the couch, and have a treat that would make her happy. In typical calico fashion-she is a diva--she really knows how beautiful she really is. Are you looking for a sweet companion? Then Mara is waiting for you!! Watch Mara's video on her main listing!
If you have it in your heart and have the love to give a forever home to very sweet girl, please fill out the application on line or contact us at 877-364-2286.
If you would like to donate to help care for Mara until she finds her forever home, please donate using the below button. Mara will always be safe in H.E.L.P.'s care, but we need your help to provide for her. Thank you for supporting H.E.L.P..
Volunteer
Volunteers are the key to our success!
The time and effort volunteers spend with the animals and at our events keep H.E.L.P. empowered to save the lives of homeless animals. 
By joining H.E.L.P.’s team of dedicated volunteers, you’ll build strong relationships with the community, animals and other like-minded volunteers.
The first step in becoming a H.E.L.P. volunteer is to complete a volunteer application. Whether caring for animals, managing adoption events, raising funds, marketing, or doing administrative work, volunteers are a very important part of H.E.L.P.
Foster Program
This is such a rewarding experience! We need foster homes for adult cats, adult dogs, kittens, and puppies in the Kane County area of Illinois.
H.E.L.P. provides veterinary care, food and supplies. You provide the TLC!
