Great name! Fits her!
Meet our first foster fail.

These pics are from her first day home. She was a bit hesitant to get out of the car but once she did, she just took the place over.Gotta give credit to both my son and the shelter for her easy transition. The shelter does a GREAT job with the dogs and cats they have. They are wonderful about evaluating dogs as well making sure they are ready for a home. They even make sure the dogs have at least basic training and socialization before allowing them to be homed. They work with Purina Farms and the the trainers of the Purina Incredible dog team to make sure the dogs have the best chance of finding and staying in a home.
It fits all around. My son is a big outdoorsman and spends lots of time around a campfire. So they put names like Cinder, Ember and few others in a bag and somebody drew Cinder.
and now has a loving home! What a great story with a wonderful ending. Why somebody would dump her it's beyond me! 
It's good times from here on out! 
You never know the backstory sometimes; some rescues have it, others like breed rescue get a dog last minute from a kill shelter with no history, and only later realize they have a handful...
We got two rescues from a very good rescue that were both separately from sad situations: our rhodie mix from an elderly man who just could not give her the exercise needed by 8 months I think if iirc,
another big neufy mix that was so terrified in kennel it barked in fear at everyone walking by..,
had literally been left in a garage no socialization except when let in yard and neigborhood kids banged sticks on fence for sport...he took a little time but became the modt gentle loving protector of our toddlers ever, and with a liitle help learned to swim out past the breakers...
Some people just dont deserve dogs.
Imho the younger rescue the better- my theory id they rewrite the hard drive (like humans) and with kind loving consistent leadership almost any broken dog can be healed.
There are exceptions of course esp when older...
Its obvious Cinder is a catch, for sure.

I've had really good luck with rescues. I would say that most of the time the problems are NOT the dog, but the people. Dogs live in the moment for the most part and when they land in a good spot that's what matters to them.
Cinder for example is a young dog at right at a year old. She was dumped and had to figure life out when she was just a baby. She was found pretty thin and very weary of people. While she didn't thrive in the shelter, she did figure out that people weren't so bad after all. Now in the right home she is thriving.
I have fostered dogs that were dumped at a shelter because they were old. Their people wanted a puppy.
Some of those dogs went on to live a few more years because they found a soft place to land and someone that cares.
After volunteering at shelters for the better part of 50 years I have to say there are more happy endings than you would think. I LOVE to see an animal win! There are heartbreaking stories, trust me I've seen my share but they are fewer and further between or no one could stick with rescue.
And that is a heart warming picture.She loves her new daddy
Another good man.
He texed it to me in the morning, gave me that warm fuzzy feeling and a smile all day!
