 Monthly News & Events at the wolf sanctum

 
from the Director..Spring 2008

 Our Open House Howl Ins' start May 3, 2008.  We will be open to the General Public on Saturdays (if NOT raining) from noon until 6p.m.  Please do check this section prior to visiting, as there will be a couple of Saturdays this season we will be closed due to my participating in Craft shows to raise funds for the sanctuary.  While I do apologize for this inconvenience, unfortunately the lack of donations is necessitating this action.  We will be closed Memorial Day weekend...I will be at the Lake Lure Festival on Saturday the 24th.   We do wish the extend our profound appreciation for the Lake Lure festival people for their donating us a space for our artworks, as all proceeds go to the support of our wolves.  I will post more information on this festival shortly.

We do have some very sad news.  This past week, on May 1st, we humanely euthanized Nashoba.  She was diagnosed as having kidney failure the week before, and all of our efforts to get her to eat a bit failed.  As always, we extend our grateful thanks to Dr. Stanberry of the Mitchell Vet Clinic in Spruce Pine, NC for his compassionate care.  We will miss our  spunky gal of the Wild Bunch.

 Another tragic wolf story is taking place for the gray wolves in the Northern Rockies as they come off the "endangered species list" and the states of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming move ahead with plans to begin hunting them.  Your tax dollars paid for their re-introduction.  It is a slap in the face to every person who donated and supported this effort to be betrayed in this manner...if these programs of re-introduction at all of our expenses result in becoming "game trophies" for a select few, then how in good conscious can we ever support them again?? I won't.

 

NOTICE:  the only valid e-mail address of our organization at this time is director@wolfsanctum.org

LOGO TEE SHIRTS have arrived!

More beautiful art prints, from Wolf Song Studio, are also in and available at our Gift Shop. 

We've added numerous items at our Gift Shop this year!  Sandi and JW Baker are creating lovely wolf art (go to their web site at www.wolfsongstudio.com) featuring the wolves at the Wolf Sanctum. 

We'd like to welcome JW and Sandi Baker to our Advisory Board!   www.wolfsongstudio.com   

Internationally known for his amazing airbrush art, J.W. Baker put his talents to work to create the above "painting" on my jacket!   They have donated this art for our new logo.  Sponsorships now include a decal (pictured below) for your car window.

and read this site's update about the slaughter of wolves....while this organization is for the recovery and preservation of caribou, it DOES NOT advocate killing predators to accomplish this goal.
