I need to update you on Cinder, the Terrier shelter dog that came in emaciated and likely used for breeding. So many of you have been in full support of her journey, and like me saw how special she was immediately.
I often get the question in interviews of how many dogs I’ve saved. Immediately I work to shift the conversation to the dog we're all helping at that time because what matters most is the dog we’re showing love to at that moment. And in my experience it’s rare that one person saves a dog. Typically it’s a team effort of rescuers, good samaritans, settler staff, volunteers and so on. When I sit with a dog I have no goals because sometimes I lose them. Instead I focus on the love and compassion I can give the dog in that moment. I hope that if I can give them comfort in their lowest moment they will at least know true love.
Cinder’s white and red blood cell count, along with her weight, was rapidly declining despite everything they tried. She was spoiled with rotisserie chicken whenever she wanted it, and had her receiving all necessary medical care, but her condition was too far gone, and she had stopped eating entirely. Surrounded by her foster family and fellow dog friends, she passed away peacefully.
I want to say the team over at I.C.A.R.E Dog Rescue did an incredible job caring for her. If you caught my most recent Pupdates video, you’ll even see her first tail wag. They really made her feel loved - something she was deprived of for who knows how long wherever she came from, and I truly believe they accomplished their goal of restoring her faith in humans in the short time she was with them.
Although she has passed, we will not stop fighting to get to the bottom of Cinder’s case, along with all the other Terrier’s cases and find out where they all came from. We’ve got a plan behind the scenes that we won’t share just in case the responsible party is out there watching/reading. #JusticeForCinder
