Hiya! Savannah Here!
I just read yesterday about the Extreme Pet Blogger Blog Hop, which celebrates posts about International Animal Shelter/Rescue Awareness, from August 17-24. Oh My Cat!!! How could I not have known??? So embarrassing! So I jumped over to pick up the badge from Two Little Cavaliers…
Then, I started to ponder (vocab builder project) what I could write about that is about animal rescue and international…hmmmmm…tapping one claw up, down, up, down…tail twitching….thump, thump…swish, swish…
I GOT IT!!!…runs to tell Mom…Mom, Mom!!!…I wanna write about Wolf Haven International!!! OK???
Why of course Savvy, that is a great idea!! We have supported them for over 20 years!! And you don’t know yet, but Savvy…yes Mom?…Your Dad gives me one birthday gift every year…he “Adopts a Wolf” for me each year, and gets me the Wolf Haven Calendar. I get a different wolf each year.
Wowie Mom…that’s so cool!!
Alrighty, here are just a couple of really cool things to know about Wolf Haven International.
First their mission:
“Our mission is to conserve and protect wolves and their habitat. We rescue and provide sanctuary for displaced, captive-born wolves, promote wolf restoration in historic ranges and educate the public about the value of wildlife. ”
They mostly give sanctuary to Gray Wolves, Mexican Gray Wolves, Red Wolves and on a case by case basis, They seem to be giving sanctuary to 3 wolf hybrids. They also have 3 coyotes.
On their website they state:
“Wolf Haven still stands firm in its opposition to breeding, selling, owning, trafficking and promoting wolfdogs (and wolves) as pets—and we believe that most wolfdogs are bred and purchased by people who are unaware of the animals’ highly unique physical and social needs, behavioral traits, and possible characteristics.”
To this end, we have started our Think Again campaign as a public service, made possible by a grant from the Thurston County Humane Society, Inc., located in Olympia, WA.”
I encourage my followers to take a hop over to visit the Wolf Haven International site…they are a great organization. I know they have also been involved in the reintroduction of the Mexican Gray Wolf and the Eastern Red Wolf back into their habitat.
Mom’s wolf for this year is Shadow…isn’t he gorgeous???…
I could not use any photos from the website as they are, rightly so, copyright photos.
I hope you enjoyed learning about Wolf Haven International…Mom and Dad not only adopt a wolf every year on Mom’s birthday, they also often give their Christmas donation to Wolf Haven. And, Mom and Dad have visited Wolf Haven twice! They are located outside Olympia, WA in Tenino…beautiful country. And there are many wolves who are “on tour”…and no…you CANNOT GET CLOSE AND YOU CANNOT PET THEM!! They are wolves!
Oh yeah, and Mom and Dad used to have 3 Siberian Huskies, you can see them on my page “Anifamily OTRB“…and each of their Sibes has a memorial stone in a courtyard at Wolf Haven.
Have a great Saturday and thanks to Life With Dogs, Confessions of the Plume and Two Little Cavaliers for hosting the Saturday Blog Hop.

Hiya! Savannah here!
First about Feeling Loss. My Champion, big guy Jetty, has lost his feline brother, Fluffy. Fluffy went OTRB yesterday, August 16. He lived a long life but a companion passing is always tough. I know Jetty’s mom, Miss Lori, is missing Fluffy too, as well as Fluffy’s human sister, Rachel. You see, Rachel named Fluffy when she was a little girl. So if you haven’t already, please drop by Jetty, at Hey, It’ s Jet Here, to give them some healing purrrs and soft doggie nuzzles.
I borrowed this cute photo from Jet’s blog post, I hope he doesn’t mind. I never met Fluffy, but wish I had.
Now I will share my Friendly Friday Frolic with you…
I have some new stuff to tell you about…but mostly I’ll keep that for my “Monday Meowsie News”.
But I really wanted you to see something I did that was silly and fun yesterday..You know I have started to play some with Mom in our office…well who knew that Mr Apple created something just for us cats!! It is an Apply iPlay cat toy…
Using it for chasing does require a staff member…or…you can just let it lay on the floor and pounce on it…I tried both ways…and prefer the interactive version myself.
…Mom started by waving it at me…I couldn’t tell what it was, so I had to go into the office to check it out…
…OH CAT!!…there are two of them!!!…Now What!!!…
.
…OK…this one is moving…I better keep my eyes on it…
…I pounced on it…then had to take a good sniff…Mom didn’t get a good photo of me jumping all over this thing…
…when she tried all she got was a FOTO BOMB!!!…(behind paws…snicker, snork)…
And that’s my new Apple iPlay Cat Toy…I bet some of you have this very same toy…so I encourage you to get your staff to share it…they can just leave it lying on the floor for you to practice your attack moves, or they can make it interactive and wiggle it around so you can practice your pouncing moves…
Have a great weekend, Paw pats, Savannah
