Cinder's Story
If you are interested in any of the dogs available at New Leash Rescue, you can reach out to the foster listed below for more information and then complete an adoption application which can be found at https://www.newleashrescue.org/adopt/policy. Please email the completed application to newleashrescue2018@gmail.com<br/><br/>? CINDER ALERT: Enter at Your Own Risk (of Falling Madly in Love) ?<br/><br/>Meet Cinder, a whole character arc wrapped in fur — 60 pounds of unpredictable affection, street smarts, and food-thieving finesse. He’s just over 4 years old and possibly a lab/shepherd mix… or maybe part goblin, part chaos demon, part stand-up comedian. Hard to say but so easy to love <br/><br/>Cinder didn’t have the best start in life. Found alone and beat up on a reservation, he came into rescue with attitude, grit, and zero patience for nonsense. Flash forward a few months of regular meals, endless treats, safety, love, and being treated like the king he thinks he is… and now? He’s a spoiled brat with a small God complex.<br/><br/>This boy is:<br/> ? House-trained (but stick to a schedule, he likes structure almost as much as snacks)<br/>? Crate-trained (loves his space)<br/>? Hilarious, mischievous, affectionate, and totally unrepentant<br/>? Your future best story ever<br/><br/>Cinder’s hobbies include: <br/>? Bullying submissive dogs just for kicks (we recommend he be an only dog or live with a dog who takes no crap)<br/>? Playing “stealth mountain lion” where he acts aloof, then leaps out of nowhere onto an unsuspecting dog like a chaos ninja<br/>? Food theft from bowls, counters, your hands, your mouth. No shame. Consequences are imaginary<br/>? “Hugging” which is really just him jumping directly into your face while you’re bent over<br/>? Practicing his “boop kiss” ambushes every time your head is lower than his<br/>? Looking very pleased with himself afterward<br/><br/>Cinder is a master of emotional manipulation. He will rob you blind and then gaslight you with puppy eyes and a kiss. He is extremely food motivated, so training is totally possible, just be prepared to negotiate like you're on a hostage crisis team. He will wait patiently for his crate treat... but only after confirming it exists with a full visual audit.<br/><br/>Young kids and cats? Nope. Cinder is too much dog for tiny humans or anything fluffy that can't file a complaint. He’s got big feelings, fast legs, and absolutely zero chill.<br/><br/>What Cinder does need is: <br/>? Someone with strong leadership and a sense of humor that’s still intact<br/>? A home that gets high-energy, high-drama dogs<br/>? Training, structure, and patience (did we say patience yet? Let’s say it again)<br/>? A willingness to take classes and work on obedience<br/>? Oh, and more patience<br/><br/>In return? You get the life of the party, the light of your life, and a never-ending supply of “you’re not gonna believe what this dog just did” stories. He’ll keep you laughing, keep you guessing, and yes, probably keep you yelling “CINDER!!!” on a near-daily basis.<br/><br/>But under all that attitude is a good boy who just wants someone to finally be his person. He's been waiting his whole life for that.<br/><br/>? Adoption Fee: $200 + tax (Checks? Cinder ate them. We take cards or electronic payments only.)<br/><br/>? Foster Contact: Tracy -tschlax@gmail.com<br/><br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Cinder: Because boring dogs are for boring people.<br/><br/>Our fosters do the best they can to provide all information about the animal's background and temperament while in foster care in their home. An adopters routine and home environment is likely going to be different than that in their foster home. <br/><br/>Sometimes there is more that comes out about a dog's personality once they have been able to settle in a home and truly become comfortable. There are great articles out there written about the different stages a pet goes through after adoption, discussing transitions that happen at 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months. We highly recommend reading about this - it will help you understand the transition your new pet goes through.
