I called her “Sonarita” when she first arrived. So I suppose that is her forever name now… After she arrived, it became clear just how heavily the odds were stacked against her, so I decided to share her entire journey at our sanctuary privately with our Herd Family (sponsors/subscribers) The late night feedings, the small victories, the setbacks, the moments that gave us hope, and the moment that broke our hearts. They walked through all of that with us as we fought for her. I chose not to share all of it publicly because I knew what was coming was a big possibility, and I knew how deeply people would fall in love with her. The truth is, I wasn't ready to put everyone through that heartbreak. Especially after Sonar. So I leaned on our Herd Family instead. We couldn't change the beginning of her story, and we couldn't change how it ended. But we could make the chapter she spent with us meaningful. Instead of being alone and scared, she was safe and surrounded by people who cared. And while our hearts are broken, and we’re also left with the financial reality of saying ‘yes’ to her, knowing the potential outcome, I'm still so grateful that she spent her final days here at the sanctuary. Her life, no matter how brief, mattered.
