The most difficult decision in this whole affair is what to do with Hope after she gets the all-clear from her surgeon in a few weeks. I always operated under the assumption that we would rehabilitate her and put her into a good home. I have a wonderful colleague who has experience with dog rehabilitation, and we also got several offers from friends and strangers alike. But Rebecca and Domino are both very attached to her, and they are having a hard time letting her go. It’s possible that Rebecca’s mother would take her in, which in my mind works perfectly, but she’s on the fence. So Hope stays here for a while longer, and we’ll continue this discussion in the coming weeks.

On Wednesday, August 26, I found this puppy (approx. eight months old) in the road with two broken legs. She is a wonderful animal and we are raising funds to cover the costs of surgery and rehab. Keep checking back for updates on her progress.
My wife Rebecca and I are musicians living in North Carolina. We have an awesome rescue dog named Domino (pictured above). Rebecca is a volunteer at the local humane society. From the Broken Puppy and all of us, thank you for your kindness!

UPDATE: Due to the tremendous response to Hope's struggles, we now feel that her medical expenses will be covered. We will not know the exact tally of costs associated with her rehabilitation until late November, but all estimates indicate that her needs have been met. Our gratitude for all who gave to her cause cannot be adequately expressed.
