Lots of photos at link.
They rescued a dogwolf. Amazing!
Good photos at the source. There is a better chance of rehabbing this wolfdog than many of our feral, stoned, criminal yoofs.
And Julie the wolfdog is doing just fine....it just takes time.
I’ve been in worse shape walking’ back to Ft Campbell...
Planned Parenthood has offered to furnish food from the wild...film at 11!
The older I get, the more grateful, even thankful for places and people like Hope For Paws. I have always been a sucker for canines and felines of any size, shape, color. Domesticated, feral or wild there is beauty and loyalty there.
Sometimes it just has to be ferreted out.
Thanks for sharing. Sweet.
I had one. Becky Jean. Miss her soooo much.
I recommend to anyone that likes animals to check out the VetRanch channel on Youtube. It was started by a vet (who also has a firearms-related Youtube channel), and every video shows the rescue and rehabilitation of some animal, most of which would have otherwise been euthanized. They are also a 501.3c charity, and all rescues are funded by viewer contributions.
I can't figure out how to get a link to the channel, but here is a link to a recent video

Wolfdog parents
***
Sorry, I could not get past that stupid phrase. A wolfdog parents are canines; its human owners are not.
The guy down the street from me has an albino wolf.
Wow, what a starkly beautiful animal.
Oh, and he takes good care of it.
Beautiful animals.
I *thought* I recognized Eldad’s “lucky leash”! I’ve watched dozens of his rescue videos & admire the work they do.
Firstly, he (and his fellow rescuers) try their utmost to win the trust of the animal before slipping the leash over its head. Many times their efforts, tho time-consuming & frustrating, result in a formerly frightened animal jumping willingly into the vehicle for its trip to the vet.
You could make the point that abrupt capture does not matter so long as the critters are rescued from horrible conditions quickly as possible. But they take pains to avoid traumatizing the poor things, which allows the animals to settle more easily into trust with the new crowd of humans helping them.
And finally, his videos don’t end on an unresolved, gut-wrenching mystery. Unfortunately, a lot of animal rescue orgs hit hard to the gut while trying to get into your wallet. Maybe at one time it was a successful tactic, but ppl get jaded by a constant litany of brutality. You’re left wondering “And then what? Did the poor animal make it or not?” All while wallowing in horror at the animals’ suffering.
Instead, Eldad takes you along for the rescue’s medical treatment *and* its renewed (or budding) trust in humanity. You get to reap the rewards with them as a pockmarked street/desert animal blooms into a healthy, sleek pet who revels in play and petting.
Huge respect. They do great work.
