Help the Animals Inc.
Our Mission
HELP the Animals, Inc. is a dedicated no-kill shelter providing a safe haven for lost or abandoned dogs and cats. We are committed to ensuring every animal in our care receives the love, medical attention, and permanent home they deserve.
Our Story
Founded in 1988 by a group of passionate animal advocates who refused to ignore the suffering of nearby animals, our organization has been a loud, persistent voice for the voiceless for over three decades. While we have grown, our core commitment remains unchanged: to relentlessly advocate for the animals and to be the first point of contact for our community when a pet is in need.
Our Commitment to Care
At our facility on West Main Street, our dedicated kennel staff works 365 days a year to provide nourishment, exercise, and a clean environment for our residents. Every animal we intake receives essential vaccinations and is spayed or neutered before adoption, ensuring we contribute to the health and well-being of the broader animal population.
Finding Your Forever Friend
Adoption is a beautiful journey that transforms lives, both for the adopter and the pet. We prioritize transparency and patience, understanding that the transition from a shelter to a home takes time. We invite you to view our diverse group of adoptable dogs and cats, from playful puppies and kittens to our distinguished silver seniors.

We believe in the power of local support to help us keep our doors open and our mission moving forward.
