On December 28, 2008 Kaffi's daughter, Runestone Cacao, was tragically taken from her family. Treasured by her family she was called Hrafn Tinna. "Tinna" was eagerly learning agility and being trained and handled by one of her girls.We mourn Tinna's loss along with her family.
In memory of the life Tinna led we are sponsoring one the dogs rescued from Michael Vick's residence who was used in his dog fighting operation. Forty seven dogs were rescued from these horrible activities and Twenty two of the most aggressive and unpredictable dogs from Vicks operation were sent to The Best Friends Animal Rescue, to be housed and rehabilitated. We are sponsoring, Meryl, the baddest of the bad, the most unpredictable and aggressive of Vick's rescued dogs. She was court ordered to remain at Best Friends Animal Rescue for life. She is making progress by leaps and bounds due to the care and attentions of the staff, bonding with her trainer, learning agility, and even making friends with other dogs. The story of Vicks dog fighting operation broke my heart; that these dogs were abused for sport and amusement in the most cruel way possible is far more than criminal.
We will sponsor Meryl, now known as a "Vicktory Dog" for as long as she resides at Best Friends Animal rescue, sending a donation out every September 20th, Tinna's Birthday.
