It is also a time to thank our wonderful volunteers and spend some social time with them at the annual volunteer picnic at the Sanctuary. This year was much different. (Read Entire Story Online) Cover Story – WideAwake To Wolf With Love For years, Wolf has done everything possible to gain approval to move the WideAwake animals to the main facility. Once it became apparent their health was too bad to place them after rescue, we knew the best place for them was the Sanctuary. This was the catalyst for our request for Amended Special Review with our County. Well, the Universe works in mysterious ways. (Read Entire Story Online) Small Miracles -- McKinley Running a Sanctuary is not easy. We are busy to the point that we do not take the time to celebrate all the good things (aka small miracles), that do happen. It is high time for that to change. As we near 14 years of saving lives, we were humbled when we stopped to realize that we have helped, in one way or another, to rescue over 7,500 animals in addition to those we have provided sanctuary.

Due to decreasing attendance on Sundays, we decided to move the Run to a Saturday in hopes that was a better day for people. To do that, we also had to move the location, as we could not use City Park on Saturdays. So we rented the Colorado State University Oval, six months in advance, which is a perfect spot for a run. Planning the event was going very well considering the changes. Wolf is very fortunate to live in a community that is very supportive of their local non-profits, and our volunteers are p-awesome. This year was going to be great! At 11 am on Thursday, less than 48 hours before the event, we received a call from CSU informing us we were not going to be able to use the Oval.

Payroll deductions or automatic monthly donations are what is known as incremental giving. The power of incremental giving cannot be underestimated. Small donations, even $1 from each paycheck, add up to a lot of help for Wolf. Here are a few examples of what incremental giving can do: (Read Entire Story Online) Kasota, Boots & Lena Come Home Due to recent passings at the Sanctuary, we had room for 3 more animals. Boots and Lena were chosen as the next animals to join the main pack from WideAwake. On September 4th, they were released into their new ½ acre private habitat, far from potential stressors. (Read Entire Story Online) In Memory of Lucan As Lucan became more comfortable with his dedicated caretakers, he became even more social. He treasured all the attention he received from the volunteers. Watching Lucan get so much attention from the humans slowly convinced Kasota, and then Pride (in the enclosure next to theirs), to approach for attention too. (Read Entire Story Online) In Memory of Rami Rami came to Wolf in 1995 as a 2.5 week old fluff ball puppy with eight siblings and their mom. Originally nicknamed Black Stripe, she enjoyed free range of the house. After her mom and four siblings went to a new home, Rami and three of her siblings became permanent members of the House Pack. She was possibly the sweetest animal you could ever meet. Rami loved attention, and would roll onto her back for anyone and everyone to rub her belly.
