WE ALWAYS NEED GLOVES<br />
Please help us keep our volunteers safe preparing<br />
meat for our rescues. We use SafeTouch Nitrile<br />
Exam Gloves Non Latex, Powder Free,<br />
All Sizes, Please!<br />
Organic coconut oil as a supplement for some of<br />
our rescues due to its amazing health benefits…<br />
and we go through a lot of it! Our Westeros<br />
Packs especially love their coconut meatballs!<br />
We give Duralactin Plus to many of our older<br />
rescues twice a day for long term management<br />
of arthritis or other chronic joint/hip issues.<br />
It really works!<br />
We give Dasuquin to manage and help prevent<br />
joint problems in our wolves and wolf-dogs.<br />
We love it and they all appreciate it!<br />
We must replace all our fire extinguishers in all<br />
volunteer housings, offices, lodgings, and other<br />
buildings as soon as possible!<br />
It is vital for our volunteer housing and all our<br />
main buildings to have one of these detectors<br />
as soon as possible!<br />
We love the bulk paper towels from Costco!<br />
PLUS WE ALWAYS NEED:<br />
Ziploc bags (gallon and quart sized)<br />
White Distilled Vinegar (gallon sized)<br />
Dawn Dishwashing Soap<br />
Shaggy-Dog<br />
Our rescue Shaggydog is one of a family<br />
of 11 high-content wolf-dogs we rescued<br />
from a failing breeding facility where<br />
they languished in tiny, filthy cages with<br />
cement or plywood floors. No one had<br />
touched them for over three years, and<br />
no one remembered their names. They<br />
all had various health issues from years<br />
of neglect and possible inbreeding including<br />
weak bones and misaligned<br />
jaws. A few years earlier, long-time supporter,<br />
Parris McBride-Martin, asked us<br />
Wolf Den Lodge<br />
if she could make a donation toward<br />
naming a rescue after a character in<br />
her famous husband’s books. This once<br />
forgotten pack seemed like the perfect<br />
choice. And so, our long suffering family<br />
became our Westeros Pack and their<br />
lives utterly transformed under the care<br />
of the Martins.<br />
We noticed that Shaggydog was limping<br />
and a trip to the vet revealed that<br />
the bones in his toe were deteriorating.<br />
That toe was removed but the biopsy<br />
was inconclusive. We watched him<br />
closely, and sadly, he was not getting<br />
better. Finding that another of his toes<br />
began to deteriorate as well, our vet<br />
thought it safest to leave him with three<br />
good legs and further testing did not<br />
show any other sign of disease. Shaggydog<br />
healed beautifully and returned<br />
to his brothers Summer and Jon Snow,<br />
and sister Shae and is getting around<br />
very well. Team Wild Spirit would like to<br />
howl out our most heart-felt thank you<br />
to Pack Mama, Parris, for covering Shaggydog’s<br />
vet bill! We love you, Parris!<br />
