Oh, Homer!

Eldad Hagar from HopeForPaws.org got a call at 6am Thursday from a woman who'd come across this guy in South L.A., where he'd been hit by a car. She wasn't able to pick him up, as he'd tried to bite her. He was obviously scared and in terrible pain.

Eldad got there and got him to an emergency vet. His pelvis was broken in four places and his femur was fractured, poor thing! I'd bite, too!

Hello. My name is Homer.

Homer turns out to be a really sweet dog, and he'll need a special foster mom or dad once we raise enough money for his surgery ($2000+), because he'll need to stay in a cage for some time so he heals properly.
If you want to help, you can make a tax deductible donation (even just $1 to the cheeseburger fund) and help get Homer get into surgery right away before his bones start to set wrong, by going to www.hopeforpaws.org.

OUCH!

If you want more info or want to foster Homer, please email Eldad Hagar at eldad75@gmail.com or you can call him directly at 310-869-3680.

Meanwhile, he's on his way to Fort Lauderdale, Florida Saturday night, where someone's asked him to help rescue a dog there! 

You can also help by ordering a copy of "Our Lives Have Gone To The Dogs" - a gorgeous hard copy book of some of Hope For Paws' 'before and after' success stories - for only $15 - including U.S. shipping.

I gave some of them away at #BlogPaws and they were VERY popular. They're really great books and make great gifts. (Just sayin'...)
