Zahara passed away Tuesday, August 13, killed by a car on the highway when she ran from her foster home. She was a sweet beautiful girl who was let down by almost everyone she knew. All she ever wanted was a safe, quiet place where she could be loved and she never got that.
Abandoned in a cage when she was just 3 months old, then kept in a cage for another 2 months. Moved to one boarding place for a couple of weeks where she was badly treated and just huddled together with her brother and sister for comfort. Then she went to another boarding house for 5 months and she had some fond memories there even though she never completely came out of her shell.
She was always scared at adoption drives and wanted to hide. She never got a single inquiry in all this time. I despise the people who looked down on her and wouldn't even consider her because she looks too common. She had beautiful, soulful eyes and a lovely black pattern on her back and tail. She was calm and gentle and would have been a wonderful family member. If you ever saw her at an adoption drive or online and passed over her because of her looks or because she was shy, shame on you!
Going to a foster home seemed like a great chance for her because she could finally get some individual attention and start to come out of her shell.
But Zahara ran away after 2 days at the foster home. We were searching day and night with her brother Maddox, but we couldn't find her. There were only a few of us searching, unfortunately.
She was hit by a car on the highway on Tuesday morning, August 13. We didn't find out until Wednesday morning. She was just lying there and no one cared. The informer said she didn't want to look and just wanted someone to take it away. No respect even for her body. We can only hope she didn't suffer too much. RIP, Zahara. I'm so sorry we let you down.
