H.E.L.P. stands for Humane & Ethical Lives, Please. Our mission is to support animals and the people who care for them through rescue, fostering, adoption, Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), low-cost spay/neuter assistance, education, and compassionate community support.

Founded in 1990 by a dedicated group of 13 women, HELP For Pets, Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to improving the lives of animals in the Greater Danbury community. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a trusted resource for pets and the people who love them. Today, HELP For Pets continues its mission through fostering, adoption, Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), low-cost spay/neuter assistance, community education, and compassionate animal advocacy. As a foster-based rescue, our animals are cared for in loving foster homes while they await their forever families.

We primarily serve Danbury, CT and surrounding communities.

No. HELP For Pets is a foster-based rescue, which means our animals live in foster homes rather than a traditional shelter facility.
