Hope is a wonderful glider who was rescued by the neighbor of a breeder in Irving Texas. She was found malnourished and injured in the woman's backyard. Her tail was missing, and either she'd been thrown out or had escaped. Hope was so tiny, that we didn't realize she was pregnant. In fact, she hid the joeys from us for a long time to protect them.

Hope had surgery to amputate what was left of her tail on July 7th, but she self mutilated, ripping out her incision area and all her stitches. After surgery to repair the damage she did to herself, she went to stay with Charlie and Mary of Glider Tree and recover. 

In October 2004, Hope came home to live with us. She is living a pampered life in sanctuary with her twins, Love and Faith, and cagemate, Chase.

She is such a sweet girl, and doing so wonderful!  Hope wants you to know what to do to help other gliders in need, how to spot a bad breeder and more.
