Howllloooooooo!
Wow, where did the summer go? We can call this the summer of Rescues and Repairs!
The floods in May left us with downed trees, a washed out driveway and leaks in our intern housing. :-( With the continued support of our donors, we were able to keep the animals fed, fix the tractor, buy culvert pipe and some gravel, and pay the equipment operator to get it all wrapped up. We still have much work to do and need carports for our housing, but, one thing at a time.
With the puppy rescue in May, our numbers swelled to 72 residents. Some of the puppies have gone to great homes, as well as three of our very social adults. (We primarily operate as a sanctuary, giving refuge to the unadoptable animals, but, on occasion, we do place sweet or young animals in lifetime foster homes.) We also welcomed Warrior, Xena and Winslow, Artemis, Prince, Sebastian, Theran, Storm, Knight, Kaden, Rama and Jake. We are currently working on a couple of other rescues and trying to make room for them as they both are in "kill shelters".
With your generosity, we have been able to keep the food pantry stocked, and we are grateful TO you and FOR you. We have been very happy with the quality of the Victor brand dog food we switched to, and have noticed constistency in the production. We have the puppies on Victor Puppy and the adults on Victor Hero Canine, a brand used by many working dog folks.
Fall brings new challenges with property maintenance as well as new rescues. The "cute puppy stage" is fading and many folks "dump" their young animals at shelters across the country. We have limited space and a limited budget, but do the best we can for those we can, and pray for the rest. We hope that you will continue to support us in our mission of rescue, sanctuary and education for the MYTH-understood wolfdog.
Enjoy the beautiful autumn weather and Howl with us!
