New Meat Van!<br />

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 />
