About this shelter

Homes for Endangered and Lost Pets - HELP in St Charles, IL

Homes for Endangered and Lost Pets - HELP is an animal shelter located in St Charles, Illinois, in Kane County, about 10 miles south of Aurora, IL, and one of 9 animal shelters/rescues serving Kane County. HELP is a volunteer-based, 501(c)3 not-for-profit rescue organization serving the Fox Valley area of Illinois that does not operate a physical shelter facility; instead, all of its rescued cats and dogs live in volunteer foster homes until they are adopted. The organization provides veterinary care, food, and supplies for stray and abandoned cats and dogs, relying on its foster program to get to know each animal so it can be matched with the right adoptive family. Ongoing needs include foster homes for adult cats, adult dogs, kittens, and puppies throughout the Kane County area.
