Wanagi WR resident Prema (who is Hokshila’s “pen-mate” at the refuge) made her debut appearance at a public venue today. It soon became apparent that Prema was not really comfortable with either the crowds of interested people or the unexpected high temperatures . . . so she hid under the table to seek refuge from both. Miss Stephanie was quick to realize Prema’s discomfort and allowed her to spend much of the afternoon resting in the quiet shade of the back of her SUV. Prema has been filling in for Wanagi WR’s usual wolf-dog ambassador, Bindi, who remained at home to continue his recovery from an unusual blood disorder. (Bindi is doing really well now, and will likely be at the next venue: Doggie Dash & Dawdle on November 2nd.) (Photo courtesy of Sue Isley)

Wanagi Wolf Fund & Rescue never fails to attract crowds of interested and enthusiastic people, as everyone wants to meet the wolves! And this 2nd annual PFGW event was no exception. Wanagi WR ambassadors Hokshila and Prema (who filled in for still-recovering Bindi) were present to meet the folks who turned out today to support the efforts of this noble cause.

This photo, like so many others taken at past events, shows how much Hokshila enjoys being around young children. This “gentle giant” always welcomes children of all ages to come give him a hug . . . and often he blesses them with one of his famous wolf kisses! (Photo courtesy of Andrea Westwood)

This event was the second one for Wanagi Wolf Fund & Rescue hosted by Pet Foods Gone Wild. Lots of enthusiastic people turned out to hear Wanagi WR CEO Stephanie Kaylan talks about the wolves and wolf-dogs at her rescue. And lots of generous folks purchased photos, 2014 calendars, raffle tickets (for the annual raffle to be held on December 15th), wolf-fur filled ornaments, and other Wanagi WR goodies. Thanks to everyone who came out and helped make this such a successful event! (Photo courtesy of Andrea Westwood)
