Riot & Cinder<br />

Lonely Hearts Club loses two members! Our<br />
beautiful nine-year-old high-content wolfdog,<br />
Riot, lost her long-time companion,<br />
Axel, to cancer. Like us, canines are social<br />
beings who are not meant to live alone, but<br />
just like us, getting along with one another is<br />
one of the most challenging aspects of life.<br />
We decided to see if our younger high-content<br />
wolf-dog bachelor, Cinder might be a<br />
good match for Riot. Their first meeting was<br />
full of high excitement. We aren’t sure Cinder<br />
had ever been around another canine<br />
and he couldn’t keep his teeth off of Riot, in<br />
a canine-friendly way. After a few days, we<br />
felt ltthat t our “Pocket tWolf lfPrincess” was missing<br />
her former neighbors too much. Leyton<br />
and Rae moved the newly matched pair back<br />
to Riot’s old habitat. It was Cinder’s first time<br />
on a leash, but he did very well. Much posturing,<br />
snarling and excitement accompanied<br />
the reunion and it’s been a great match so far!<br />
Wild Spirit champions David Craig (second from the left) and Shirl<br />
Casner have graced our rescues with a brand new van for hauling<br />
meat <strong>donations</strong>! Our sanctuary is in<br />
a remote location, and it is vital for<br />
us to have reliable transportation<br />
for our rescues and for the supplies<br />
they need. Dave made sure it has<br />
the best of everything, including a<br />
lift for our heavy meat barrels! We<br />
love feeding our rescues the food<br />
they crave and deserve. On behalf<br />
of them, Team Wild Spirit howls<br />
our eternal gratitude to Dave and<br />
Shirl for this EPIC GIFT!!<br />
