The Wolfwood Refuge of Ignacio, Colorado once again brought some wolves and wolfdogs to Alpine Park in Salida for exhibit as part of their ongoing efforts at promoting an understanding of these animals. The refuge provides a place for unwanted and homeless wolves and wolfdogs. Part of their mission is to dispel myth and misinformation, judgment and prejudice, cruelty and inhumane treatment. They wish to reach a place of understanding and respect with the realization that quality of life is an inherent right of all creatures.
Quite a large crowd came to see the animals. Pens were set up in the park holding the larger wolves and wolfdogs and a few people at a time were allowed inside the pens to pet and be with the animals. A couple of young wolfdogs were outside the pens on leashes where children could play with them. To see children's faces light up as they petted the wolves was as uplifting to see as the wolves.
One rehabilitated 10-month-old gray wolf named Trinity was also outside the cages (see picture below). She was an incredibly gentle and loving animal who truly enjoyed the attention she got from all the people.
