Homes for Endangered and Lost Pets
H.E.L.P. is a volunteer based not-for-profit organization in the Fox Valley area. H.E.L.P. strives to provide medical care and a safe, happy, and comfortable living environment for as many cats and dogs possible while maintaining a high standard of care for these animals and making a best effort to ensure these animals are adopted into quality adoptive homes. H.E.L.P. is committed to educating the community on improving the lives of pets, and reducing the stray and abandoned domestic animal population as well as to promote spay/neuter programs.
H.E.L.P. does not have a facility. The animals live in our volunteers’ homes. We feel that foster care benefits the animal and the potential adopter, as it allows us to work on health or behavioral issues while providing a safe, healthy, happy environment until a cat or dog is adopted. In addition, fostering enables us to get to know an animal so we can better match the cat or dog to their person or family.
H.E.L.P. is essentially a no-kill organization. We are proud to take in animals that other organizations would not otherwise help. We do not have time limits on the animals in our care and we do not euthanize animals with health issues or non-terminal illness. However, we will not prolong the suffering of an animal with a personality that would make living in a home with people a miserable experience. Furthermore, we do not keep animals in foster care whose temperament poses a danger to people or other animals.

- Blackbird
-
Blackbird is small for a male. He is playful and affectionate and makes it known that he loves and wants canned or people food. Blackbird has been neutered and is current on vaccinations. His siblings are all white and black: Domino, Ditto and Dot. Their approximate date of birth is 4/24/11. Since they have had limited contact with children, they can be timid around them, and could need time and patience to feel comfortable around them. It would be wonderful if Blackbird could be adopted with a sibling.

- Dixon

Dixon is a stunningly gorgeous medium longhaired boy! He has a fabulous personality--will play with his toys, uses his scratching post, and is a lover-boy! He will need regular brushing to keep his hair looking handsome, although he does great keeping himself cleaned. Dixon is a big boy weighing 12 lbs. and was born 08-03-2009. He is so stunning to see in person! Pictures don't do him any justice! He is good with other cats in his foster home, and doesn't mind the dogs, although he doesn't mingle with them much. Dixon had a broken tooth when he came to us, so we had it pulled. He doesn't even know it's gone! Dixon is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
