Helping The Helpless Pet Rescue

Animal rescue in Coatesville, PA

Helping The Helpless Pet Rescue is a small, Independent Rescue located in the heart of Chester County, PA. We are dedicated to helping one helpless Pet at a time through in-home Fostering. We pull pets from Shelters along the entire Eastern USA, who are due to be euthanized. We socialize, train and love these pets while seeking responsible, compassionate, Furever Homes for them. All dogs are held in Foster Care for at least 3 weeks while we Temperament Test, Train and continually Socialize. We currently focus on Pit Bulls as they need the most Advocates. The Pit Bull dog is an incredibly intelligent, loyal & obedient Breed. They make wonderful Family Pets. However, we will Rescue any breed that we have room for in our Program.

We do what we do because we believe that all pets deserve a second chance at life.
