Older adults often face unique challenges, both physically and financially, which can make it difficult for them to care for their pets—yet studies have shown that pets can provide crucial companionship, emotional support, and even physical health benefits, especially to older pet parents. Because of this, Harley’s Hope has decided to focus exclusively on supporting older Coloradans and their pets.

Colorado has one of the fastest-growing older populations in the country, and this targeted approach will undoubtedly make a significant impact on an often marginalized part of our society. By tailoring our services to meet the specific needs of older pet parents, Harley’s Hope is helping to address not only the health and well-being of the pets, but also the individuals, ensuring they can continue to experience the joy of having a loyal companion for many years to come.
