Story

Sinclair was rescued after being found in poor condition—underweight and dehydrated, likely separated from her mother for over 24 hours.

Named by Lauren G

One of our young rescue heroes raised funds for VAMMR for her birthday and chose the name to celebrate Canadian soccer legend Christine Sinclair!
