We Believe
Their love is unconditional
Pets are family, too! Can you imagine having to give up a sibling or parent because they needed care that you couldn’t afford? Well, that happens every day with pets and their people – people who are retired, have lost their jobs, are facing life’s challenges – and just need a little help to protect the special bond they share with their pet. Harley’s Hope is here to assist during those difficult times. We do this because at Harley’s Hope, we believe their love is unconditional.

Everyone needs a little help sometimes
If you have a pet in your life, you may find yourself in need of help at some point. Safety net agencies, like Harley’s Hope, exist specifically to provide that support. We do not do pet adoptions, we are not an animal rescue or shelter – we provide programs to keep your pet in their home. Why is this important? Besides preserving that amazing human-animal bond, too many animals continue to lose their homes every year, roughly 1 million alone due to their persons’ financial challenges. Rather than see these pets become homeless and add to the millions of pets entering the shelter system each year, we choose instead to focus on preserving existing relationships.

Sasha
This dandy Dobie is Sasha, who at 10 years of age has developed a couple of tumors that need to be removed – one on her abdomen and a possible growth in her throat. Sasha underwent surgery yesterday at Westside Animal Hospital and is back home with Tatjana, who is employed, but not earning enough to cover unexpected situations like this.

Quick assistance removes cat from tough domestic situation
Dimitri
This handsome boy, Dimitri, just spent two weeks in emergency boarding at Catology. He and his person, who shall remain nameless due to domestic violence, needed safe haven. His person found that with friends and family after being released from the hospital with major injuries. But this kitty was still at home with the perpetrator and needed a place to land until his human was fully recovered. When we approved the request for assistance, the client responded, “Thanks so much for this blessing – I feel more at peace that he is safe.” We spoke again with “mom” at a later date, who let us know that she and her kitty have been reunited and expressed gratitude for making her recovery a bit easier knowing her boy was being cared for. Best of luck to both of you as you rebuild your life.

Assistance save dog’s mobility
Dixie J.
“My heart is full. I am eternally grateful. Thank you so very much to Harley’s Hope Foundation for your kindness and generosity.” That was Maria’s reaction upon learning HHF would help with her dog’s surgery. Meet Dixie J., a 3 year old pup who underwent surgery to fix her leg. Dixie was shot in the leg 3 years ago and underwent surgery at that time to install a plate to rebuild her left elbow. Unfortunately, the plate began working itself out and things got dire earlier this year when it created pain and an oozing, infected wound. Dixie’s person, Maria, has dealt with numerous challenges including bouts with Covid and a Traumatic Brain Injury. She gets by with a lot of help from her friends and family, but needed extra assistance in getting Dixie’s leg repaired. Maria touched base with us this afternoon…”Dixie J had her surgery this morning. I am leaving in a few minutes to go pick her up. She did very well. I am praying that this surgery is going to provide her with a new lease on life, a pain free life. I am excited for her and eager to help her heal and get her back to herself. Thank again for your most generous gift for my Dixie.”
