Our beautiful girl, Hallow arrived at her new home @shywolf_sanctuary Saturday. • If you're new to Hallow's story she was on death row at animal control in Kentucky until she was pulled and came to live here with our family. My intentions were to get her healthy both physically and mentally then adopt her out to a loving and knowledgable family. Unfortunately, after a few weeks we found she has pretty severe dog aggression and I no longer felt it was safe to adopt her out. Luckily @shywolf_sanctuary came to our aid to offer her a place to go where she would have a full staff that would understand her special needs, and provide hours of companionship everyday. • She rode calmly and quietly the entire way to Naples, which ended up taking us nearly 12 hours with stops. Including one stop to pick up a beautiful red fox named Anja in Destin, Florida who was desperate for a place to go after her family moved to Nevada and could not take her with them. • Both animals are settling in nicely to their new surroundings, and once acclimated will be placed into larger enclosures with more room to run, dig, and chew on all the natural plants that they provide as enrichment at @shywolf_sanctuary. • The full video of Hallow’s journey is now up on our Patreon! (Link in bio). If you would like to help support @shywolf_sanctuary check out their page. They are currently working on a huge project to buy land to expand their refuge for wolfdogs and other homeless exotics. Rescues like this cannot exist without the support of the community. If you would like to contribute to their new facility they do have a gofundme listed on their page. #wolfdogrescue

A Beanie On A Meanie

From animal control, to our family, to her new home, Hallow has had quite the journey, and I’m so happy to announce that @shywolf_sanctuary has made room for her at their wolfdog refuge. We will be making the 9 hour drive tomorrow to take her and a hitchhiking fox named Anja who will also be joining the @shywolf_sanctuary family. • This weekend is going to be a rollercoaster. Transporting a fox who doesn’t know me, and a wolfdog who has bounds of energy on a 9 hour drive is not for the faint of heart. Our voyage starts at 4am tomorrow, and I’ll be sure to take you guys along for the ride in our stories.

And just like that, he is grown... #elmwoodfox

Mushroom would like you all to start your Monday knowing that anything is possumble. ♥️

The hardest part about rescue is never truly knowing what you’re getting into when you bring a new animal home. You don’t know their past, their likes and dislikes, their triggers or trauma. • Hallow has been amazing, except around other dogs. Wolfdogs, no matter the content, need more socialization than a normal dog. If not properly socialized, problems like food aggression, resource guarding, and dog aggression can arise. • When I brought Hallow home we were unaware that she was triggered by other dogs. I initially thought she may settle once she was more comfortable with her surroundings. She was in a new place, with new people, and new animals. I didn’t expect everyone to get along immediately. After weeks went by she did not calm down, she would pace her enclosure if Moose was anywhere in sight, hackles raised, low growling, body as stiff as a board. The plan was to begin working on socializing her with Moose while she wore a muzzle, then moving on to other dogs. But, before I had the chance to do that, she showed us just how reactive she could be. • While walking Moose one day Hallow pushed repeatedly so hard on her enclosure that she broke a bolt that kept the door latched. We were no where near her enclosure, and when I turned around to call Moose inside she had barrel rolled him and had already pinned him by the throat. • Moose and Hallow are both okay, and thankfully because I was able to pull them apart quickly neither suffered serious injuries. Since this incident I have decided that Hallow is no longer for adoption, as I don’t feel that it’s safe for her to be in a home environment with how strong her prey drive is and how reactive she is with other dogs. I was able to pull them apart, but the next person may not be able to. We are currently looking to place her in the permanent care of a wolfdog sanctuary, or I will be keeping her here for the remainder of her life if we are unable to find any other placement. • For the full story of the incident you can visit our Patreon at www.patreon.com/juniperfoxx or visit the link in our bio. All proceeds of new patrons will go to her continued care.
