What can you live without today so that a dog or cat, a kitten or puppy could live? A few Lattes? A movie? How about a few of those unhealthy, fattening snacks that you buy at the grocery store?
Thank you Sharon Coley, for caring. When we allow ourselves to let go of hierarchies about who is more important than whom, not worry so much about which species is smarter than the next, or not focus so much on whose body is more perfectly conformed than the next, that's when we can focus on the inside of animals, the part that is just like us. When we put aside our differences of physical form to meet an animal on the inside--as a soul peer--then we can talk with them. Then we can truly hear the thoughts, feelings and stories of animals unhampered by any predisposed ideas of who they are supposed to be. Do Good. Feel Good. The Hope Fund is a special account designed to pay expenses for extraordinary care and treatment for animals whose injuries and conditions are exceptionally serious. The fund was conceived when Sharon Coley (Volunteer) attended a Board of Directors' meeting in May 2008. Sharon walked into the meeting carrying Hope, a two year old, seven pound Pekingese in her arms to make a plea for her life. The dog had been under the wheels when her owner backed out of the driveway, crushing the little dog's pelvis and leaving her paralyzed from the hips down. The owner refused to seek help, but a neighbor who witnessed what happened took "Hope" and tried to take care of her. Sharon appealed to the Board of Directors to donate for Hope's care and people emptied their pockets. Surgery, however, was not an option due to the severity of the injury. So Hope was fitted with a wheelchair and gets around very well these days. The fund continues for the purpose of helping animals we rescue with extensive injuries. One example of the Hope fund in use is the money being made available for the Pit Bull, Phantom (of the Opera) who was turned into Animal Control with the lower portion of his face torn off and multiple bite marks and scars all over his body. Reconstruction of his face and nose...four operations later, Phantom is living in his forever foster home with a cat and 3 other dog mates and he is doing very well. THANK YOU David Coffin, DR.

Phantom has gone from a very scared and submissive American Pit Bull Terrier to a playful and happy dog with a wonderful quality of life.
Phantom represented Friends For Animals by attending the candle light vigil in Raleigh, NC to make a statement to our legislators about all of the killing of American Pit Bull Terriers that are seized from convicted dog fighters. These dogs are being rescued from a life of abuse... only to be victimized more by being killed. The definition of "dangerous animal" in NC law needs to be broadened. The way it is now, all of the dogs seized...even new born puppies are being killed. Dogs are individuals and should be evaluated individually.
We rely on you for our needs, and are dependent on you for our protection and well-being. Please do us no harm; we are helpless before you and at your mercy.
UPDATE ON HOPE HI Everybody, Just to let you know I am happy in my forever home with my mom, Mara and my dad, John. Here is a few pictures of me.
Life is good, Hope (aka Dani) P.S. My Mom and dad and my whole family love me very, very much and I get spoiled a lot.
 The average dog is a nicer person than the average person. - Andy Rooney
When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest. A photographer from the Charlotte , North Carolina newspaper, noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman. He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do. As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies and kissed him just as the photographer snapped this photograph.

I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. “God,” I said, “this is terrible! Why don’t you do something?” God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly, “I have done something,” He replied. “I created you.”
Thanks for sending me this, Debbie Hawkins, Director of Professional Services JIRDC
