Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A sex-change dog born with male and female organs is looking for a home.
Georgie, a Staffordshire bull terrier cross, was abandoned as a stray after suffering the extremely rare hermaphrodite condition.
Visitors to Manchester Dogs Home would "fall in love" with the dog, believed to be aged around two - but be put off by her split identity and no one wanted to give her a home.
Now surgeons have transformed Georgie by removing her male organs - turning Georgie into a bitch.
Lisa Graham, 35, manager at the home, said: "People would see her and were quite attracted. When we explained the condition she had and she would have to come back to us for surgery, they were repulsed - it was not the surgical aspect, it was the condition."
Ms Graham said the vet at the home, which takes in 7,000 strays each year, has been looking after animals for 30 years - and has only ever seen one other case like Georgie's.
An adoption fee of £70 is payable for anyone looking to give Georgie a new home.
