Rescue FAQs

H.E.L.P. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, all-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. Learn more on Facebook or Twitter.
Our foster. homes are in the St. Charles, Batavia, Geneva, Ill and surrounding areas.
