Happy 4th of July from... Kelly & Patricia Reed and all the Wolves at Eagle Tail Mountain Wolf Sanctuary!

 

SPECIAL THANKS !
Our Web Person, Claire, has been working herself “silly” to get our website moved to a new server and correct the many problems that had developed.  She will never know how much we appreciate all of her hard work!  She has been an absolute Blessing !!!!

 

Our Christmas Surprise has grown like a weed.  We still really have no idea what type of dog she is—Australian Shepherd & Golden Retriever is our best guess.  She is growing like a weed and has Kelly totally wrapped.  What a good natured “little” girl she is!!

                        

The new waterers and repair parts have been installed.  They started the repairs/replacements at our 1st workday in February and finished them June 20th.  Again – thanks to our APS volunteers.  For the first time, we held three workdays this year.  We had 26 people for the first Workday to help with pen maintenance and waterer repair. Our second APS Workday was a concrete pour, resulting in a sidewalk to the house & two pads in front of the roll-up doors on the barn.  Between the new pads for access and the donated Forklift – the work load has certainly lightened for Kelly and he loves it.  Our third workday brought us a Forestry Crew from Phoenix, who trimmed approximately 35 trees and chipped the trimming to mulch for us. Another HUGE thanks to all of our APS volunteers this year.

Kelly is doing great since his heart attack.  He had to do some prescription adjustments but is feeling good.  We are both well & busy, as always.

I am working on a couple of grants again—I will eventually succeed.  It has been a real learning experience as I continue to work on these.  We were warned by a very successful grant writer and teacher that it would be difficult, at best, for us to get grants.  We fall between the cracks – not wild animals, not dogs.  They tell me persistence pays – I guess we will see.

We just took in two new animals – a male wolf hybrid (approximately 4 yrs old) and the female he was running with.  They had been “adopted” strays for two years but the individuals moved and asked us to take them.  They are both mild mannered & affectionate. 

Meet Wolf & Little Girl.

                           

 

 

Wishing you all a Happy Fourth of July !!!
