Fall is in the air—finally! After a very hot and rainy summer, rumor has it we’re in for a gorgeous display of fall colors. We hope you’re able to get out and enjoy the cooler temperatures and maybe enjoy a hike or two with your dog. Keep in mind that each season offers up its own challenges—Autumn acorns and wild mushrooms to name just two!—as well as enjoyment. 

So, what’s up for Harley’s Hope in the coming months? Plenty! Mark your calendars now for Murder on the Red Carpet—a murder mystery/dinner/silent auction held in partnership with Safe Place for Pets. Scheduled for November 11th at the Antlers in downtown Colorado Springs, we invite you to come dressed as your favorite 1960s Hollywood celebrity and help solve a Tinseltown whodunit with Red Herring Productions, or come dressed as yourself—just please come! We’re hard at work continuing to get great silent auction items including a hot air balloon ride, trips within and outside of the continental U.S., gift baskets, and much, much more. This event sold out last year, so get your tickets while you can, dust off those tiaras, and break out your movie premiere-worthy garb.

And, don’t forget the Give! Campaign launches in just one short month. This is Harley’s Hope’s 10th year in the campaign, so please help us make it a banner year by donating early and sharing the campaign with all of your animal-loving friends and family. Most of the services and products we need to support our mission are NOT donated—so we need the support of our community to keep going. Thank you to this year’s matching grant donors including Gary and Cherrie Moseley, Ann Nichols, Anonymous, Animal ER Care, LLC, Jeanne Gardner and David Miller, Cynthia Haterius, and the HHF Board of Directors.
