These are our two "work in progress" additions. They haven't learned all the social skills yet (like not nipping), and Cajah has some serious resource guarding when it comes to food. We are progressing little by little, but it will take time and patience--a lot of both!!

Hemi and Lakota are continuous motion. They play all day and are best friends. Hemi came from a broken relationship (cast off) and Lakota was turned into a shelter mislabeled as a "wolf hybrid". Both Lindsay Mehrkam and Ryan Talbot (photographer and copyright owner) are caught entertaining the pair.

This is Meesha, Silver’s companion and bonded mate. Meesha came to us as a very afraid teenager with no socialization. Her first year or so was spent being nervous, scared, and wanting to escape people. Adding Silver to Meesha’s enclosure did wonders in calming her and decreasing her flight distance to where she would take treats from our hands. Turns out she is a champion hole digger, creating a long and deep den each winter season. Even though there will be no little ones, it is interesting to watch their behavior as the season unfolds into Spring. Meesha still has a ways to go to successfully interact with people, but she is very content and close to Silver as her companion. Pict copyright by Ryan Talbot.

The picture album (Silver) ha 4 pics of one of our most outgoing animals. He came here via animal control as they closed down a breeder for horrible conditions. Silver loves people and food, and has never met a person (or a food bowl) he didn't like. Lindsay Mehrkam from UF is pictured with him on a recent visit to work with our animals. Ryan Talbot took the pictures and has copyrights to them.

This is Rosco, one of our two new rewidents. He is 9mo old, neutered and fully vetted. The guy is a sweet dog and super friendly. His previous owner is unfortunately headed for jail for a long, long time. A dog rescue talked us into taking him, and we have paired him with Tazia who lost her mate last Winter. Both are getting along great, but we will try hard to find a home for Rosco. He is too adoptable to stay here.

This is Spirit--only puppy of Midnight, the pregnant black GSD we took in. She is lookin good, and will hopefully be on the next puppy transport. All puppy and a real handful at times, but learns quick and loves people. I'd hape a lot more pics, but she has only one speed--flat out. Never stops except at night for sleep.

Time to play catch-up with Nite Howls. It's too easy to stay away from the computer and in the pens. The wolfdog side has lost Tekka, who was close to 15. She spent her last days with White Cloud (Pics earlier) wandering aroound their pen together. Both had lost mates in the past year, but were happy to not be left alone. Midnight and her puppy are doing great. Little tyke is 6 wks and will get playmates ia a few days. The puppy side has been chaos. One puppy transport the end of May and another in a week normally would empty the puppies side out, but we have managed to take in several puppies that will swell the numbers again. Twelve coming this afternoon amidst all the pouring rainstorms. I'll refrain from the obvious pun here. Things are just BUSY here.
