About us
Mission Statement:
Harley’s Dream was established in 2016 to create awareness and educate the public about the cruel commercial dog breeding industry, also known as puppy mills. We believe that a grassroots approach by large groups of concerned citizens is the most effective way to bring about change. Our focus is to encourage advocacy by providing the tools necessary to educate children and adults alike.
Harley’s Dream is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Berthoud, Colorado. EIN #81-4432191
Who is Harley?
On the brink of death, after spending 10 years living in a cramped, filthy cage in a puppy mill – where he’d lost an eye when his cage was power-washed, Harley was finally freed. He immediately received much-needed medical care and found love with a special family. And he thrived. To the surprise of the veterinary community, this strong-spirited little 6-pound Chihuahua continued going strong in spite of medical conditions which were the result of his years living in a cage. For five years following his rescue, Harley worked hard educating children and adults alike about puppy mills. Harley had personally participated in the freeing of more than 700 dogs from puppy mills across the Midwest, and raised the money that gave freedom to hundreds more.
Harley always seemed well aware that his life had a purpose. Whether it was a fundraiser in his honor that drew 2,000 people, or visiting an elementary school classroom to educate our youngest generation about where pet store puppies really come from, Harley’s magical personality grasped the hearts of all who met him. He’d been featured on the cover of popular magazines and on television and radio, and was considered a social media sensation.
Sadly, Harley passed away on March 20, 2016 … but his legacy lives on. This little one-eyed dog is known worldwide. Harley continues to inspire hope and confidence in people of all ages who are able to relate to his less-than-perfect appearance, and he continues... show more to be the voice for the hundreds of thousands of dogs living in cages in puppy mills today. #HarleysDream

Timothy P. asked:I'm thinking about getting a puppy this winter/spring and many of the ads I've seen require a vet recommendation. Does anyone have a veterinarian near the East Village they would recommend? Thanks!Kim R. replied:PLEASE rescue - there are loads of purebred rescues and milldogrescue.org pulls dogs used for breeding in horrific puppy mills and they often have litters of puppies for adoption. You can also try animalhavenshelter.org. As for vets, my vet is in Tribeca, but you don't find one closer, let me know and I'm happy to connect you. :)

Krysti G. asked:Denver area! Park Meadows Mall has a pet store in it. I saw this boy there today! Date of birth 4/14/14. Bred in Nebraska. He is in a small cage with another dog (not sure of breed) and looks stressed, hot and a little dehydrated. Nose was very dry when I went in. Asking over $1,700 for him, but it looks like they are having a sale. The paperwork had the breeders name on it, but I don't want to publish it. It had a buyers name on it as well, so I'm not sure if the breeder even knows he is there. Nebraska breeders PM me with concerns. Anyone know of someone looking to adopt a baby Sheepie?
Sara B. replied:http://milldogrescue.org/ Colorado people - here is a much better option than adopting from a pet store.

Christine M. asked:I am strongly considering getting a dog. After researching breeds I am looking for a Papillon or a phalene. Does anyone know where to find them in Taiwan? Are there any breeders. I would rather not get it from a pet store. ThanksRachel M. replied:I'm a big fan of this little guy. What a survivor.
