The pups had so much fun playing and running around! Maeve and Faelen are really finding their groove playing together, and it’s such a joy to watch 💗
Finding remote, quiet, peaceful places like this is challenging (especially as we live in very crowded Southern California), but so important and rewarding. Seeing the pups run and play freely and uninterrupted by other people and dogs (for which we always leash up until they pass) makes the days of planning and hours of driving to these spots so worth it.
It can be very stressful having big, active, high maintenance dogs in a non-rural environment. Yes, they have a decently sized backyard/containment to hang out in and play (an absolutely requirement), but that’s not nearly enough for them. They need exercise and mental stimulation every day, usually multiple times per day. When they aren’t actively sleeping, they generally need/want sometime from me, whether that be interaction, exercise, feeding, or play!
These guys are truly a lifestyle choice, and dictate every second of my free time. Many people see and want northern breeds/wolfdogs because they’re beautiful and engaging. However, it’s absolutely crucial to accept and want them not for their looks, but for the lifestyle and activities they come with too! Getting any dog based on looks alone is a terrible mistake. However, getting these types of dogs based on just looks will almost invariably result in an unhappy (and shocked) owner, and disaster for the dog once they’re no longer wanted due to their extreme maintenance requirements and quirky personality. In short, do your research and get experience with any breed before deciding it’s for you!!

Good morning, Maeve! 💗😭
Maeve makes the most incredibly adorable and endearing sounds when she’s greeting her people! Saying good morning to her is always a highlight of the day 🥺💕😍

While Amren is a shy animal and doesn't allow much physical contact with her Caretakers, she'll sometimes solicit play from them! Here you can watch her ask Executive Director Brittany for just that!

Kitana is a mid-content wolfdog and has one of the most beautiful howls at the sanctuary.
For anyone curious, they are all born and raised in captivity, meaning they have never been wild, are acclimated to and rely upon humans, and do not have the skills or knowledge to survive in the wild. Additionally, as wolfdogs, these kids are legally considered domestic dogs, further cementing that they cannot be released.
Oftentimes, their options are sanctuary placement or death. The purpose ot a sanctuary is to provide them a safe space to live and call "home."

Pre-bedtime fight club 🐺👊😂
These two love wrestling on the giant doggy bed, and their favorite game is MY BLANKET.
Maeve specializes in flopping over and freezing while Faelen chews on her, while Faelen loves to ram her with the top of his head and do a partial somersault on top of her 😂
Fascinating behavior,

Sunset songs🌞🎵
Here Faelen and Maeve show off how wolves and wolfdogs will often change their pitch mid-howl, unlike the long low beautiful howls they're more known for. These more varied (and definitely more screechy!) howls are a territorial mechanism, sounding from far away as if there are many more wolves around than there truly are.
In this video, Faelen and Maeve were actually responding to the territorial barking of a coyote in the distance- safe to say, I think the coyote got a bit of a surprise!
Speaking of coyotes, they're also very adept at varying their vocalizations and "throwing" their voices- this often makes a group of 3 coyotes in the woods behind your house sound like a pack of at least 10... while this vocalization strategy can be very effective at intimidating rivals near their territory, it also has the side effect of misleading humans into believing there's a much larger population out there than there truly is.

Maeve and her friend
These two are the sweetest girls ever🥰, and both absolutely adore people. Nova is naturally confident yet submissive to other dogs, while Maeve is extremely bold and dominant (she will literally steal Nova’s food right under her nose)! It will be interesting to see how their dynamic plays out as Maeve matures.
Both these ladies are very high content female wolfdogs, which aren’t famous for getting along together long term. However, Nova met Maeve as a young pup, and by meeting up very often and allowing them to “stay in touch,” we’re hoping they’ll remain good together, and enjoy hikes and activities for a long time to come!
I like to take Maeve solo to play with Nova here for several reasons:
First, having Faelen there as well changes the dynamic and things become more political and less playful. Nova is very submissive to Faelen and is busier trying to appease him rather than interacting with Maeve. Faelen also feels the need to dictate the situation, and is bossy when it comes to Maeve playing with Nova.
Second, it’s important for Maeve to have time away from Faelen, especially when learning to interact with other canines, to develop her own social skills and confidence. While it seems mean to leave Faelen behind, it’s so important for Maeve’s development and well worth the temporary guilt I feel. Once Faelen and Nova’s hormones settle a bit at the end of winter, they’ll have plenty of playdates too!

Fae Fae and Mae Mae today on moving day!
(technically me and the pups moved up yesterday, but today the big truck arrives…)
Thanks for bearing with us during this crazy time! Lots more content coming soon 🐾

Playtime! ☀️🐾
Now that Maeve is getting bigger and faster, her play with Faelen is slowly transforming from “annoying little sister” wrestling where Faelen holds back quite a lot and tolerates her, to more carefree games of chase and hide and seek, where both pups move slightly more equally. Faelen’s natural play style has always been that he prefers to get chased rather than do the chasing, so Maeve learning about this key detail and starting to oblige opens up a whole new style of play for these two! 💕🖤🍃

Maeve’s first round of marker training!
This is training her to step onto a specific marker, in this case a small stump, when asked. This skill is essential for photography and film work, and is also super helpful for them to know for recreational photography too! In addition, training sessions like these are great enrichment, and work their minds. This is soooo important for precocious and intelligent animals like Maeve and Faelen. It’s also a fantastic way for us to bond, and learn to communicate our desires to each other effectively.
Maeve caught on to the word “mark” very quickly, and is beginning to understand that she has to stay on the marker to get her treat, rather than just touch it. Faelen knows this cue quite well, and couldn’t resist joining in (see the second vid!). As you can see, teaching Maeve that jumping up is not a way to get treats is an ongoing effort 😬😂💕
