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.

Greensboro residents have no doubt heard about the recent acquisition of 97 dogs from a local kennel. Many of these dogs were malnourished and disease-ridden when they were seized. They now reside at the Guilford County Animal Shelter and will likely be candidates for adoption, but the shelter is strapped for resources and not equipped for this sudden increase in numbers. This is a sad situation and many have been concerned about the welfare of these animals and the financial burden the shelter now faces. But there is a silver lining - Ellen Degeneres and her pet care company have stepped up and donated 5,000 meals for these poor dogs:

Ellen is a talented and funny actress, and also a great human being. Very cool.
