Cinder came to us as a houndie that was dumped at Lithgow pound undesexed and still registered as ‘racing’ along with her buddy, Bentley, after she won her racing owner over 20k in winnings. She had a chronic fungal infection all over her snout, eyes and ears that has since resolved with treatment (she’s still slowly growing her cobblestone nose skin back).

She was lucky enough to go straight into an amazing foster home with a sanctuary graduate Jezzy and her foster bro Harvey (a small Jack-Russel Terrier).

Cinder has shown no aggression at all towards Harvey and has met many other dogs out and about with no issue. She showed some prey drive towards a very timid small dog so of course she will need to be kept on leash at all times out and about while she adjusts to her new life. She is fantastic with confident small dogs.

One of her favourite things is digging in her very own sandpit and jumping in the car for a road trip - or she frequently jumps in the car just to hang out on the chance of a road trip! She is brilliant on a lead and has frequented many weekend markets and busy outings very happily.

She would be fine in a family with children over the age of 8 that have of course got good manners around dogs.

Cinder is quite a confident and independent girl, and has a lot of capacity to learn with positive reinforcement. She would suit pretty much any living arrangement but preference is given to a home with a yard (she thoroughly enjoys just sitting outside on her own). She will need one to two walks a day (like all doggos) to keep her body and mind healthy. She would happily live with other doggos but also be fine as an only dog.

If you think you can give Cinder the most perfect of homes please complete an application form and get in touch. She is such a sweet natured girl who is quite clever and confident in herself. She would make the most amazing addition to any family :)
