October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. and S.A.F.E. House invites the community to its annual candlelight Domestic Violence Vigil. It's a time to remember the men, women, and children whose lives have been lost to domestic violence, and to stand with survivors as a community.
Through shared poetry, personal testimonies, and quiet connection, attendees will honor those we’ve lost, uplift those still healing, and raise awareness about the realities domestic violence survivors face every day.
All are welcome to attend....take a light to carry.

With the weather cooling a bit, October is a good time to be out and about. Why not make it a twosome? Stop by The Animal Foundation any day in October to take a shelter dog on a special outing. It’s an easy way to get involved while giving a dog valuable time outside the shelter.
Shelter life can be stressful, even for the most outgoing dogs. The constant noise, unfamiliar surroundings, and lack of one-on-one time can take a toll. A day out gives them a chance to decompress, explore, and just be a dog. Whether it’s a casual walk, a trip to Mt. Charleston, or a Starbucks stop for a pup cup, a few hours with you can make a big difference.
The shelter provides everything needed for a fun experience. You provide the sense of adventure. Ask about the dogs who have been there the longest. More info at Get Tickets.
