AHELP is Animal Hospice, End of Life, and Palliative Care Project
We prepare, guide, and empower pet parents through their animal companion's journey – during illness, end of life, and beyond – to make compassionate decisions that promote quality of life on the path to the Rainbow Bridge.

Pet parents, we know what you’re going through.
“I just want my furry friend to be comfortable, but I feel alone and don’t know where to turn.”
“I just want to know when it’s TIME.”
“My veterinarian offered me only a few options: surgery, another round of tests, or ‘call-me-when-you-want-a-euthanasia.’ ”
“I can’t get over how guilty I feel about my last pet’s passing. I don’t know how I could do that again.”
“I’m running out of energy to continue this level of pet care, yet she still really needs me.”
“I was on an emotional rollercoaster, and I’ll never forgive myself for letting her go too soon.”
“The thought of another expense like pet hospice care will overwhelm my finances.”
