Rescue Wolfdog just needed a chance

Witnessing a rescued wolfdog's journey from neglect to happiness is nothing short of miraculous. This particular wolfdog is named Kiba and he was used for breeding, left without proper care or vaccinations, and arrived much skinnier than expected. With elbow callouses, messed up teeth, and keratin buildup in his paw pads, he was scared and lacked confidence. Nevertheless, with love and attention, he began to thrive. All he needed was a chance.
Despite facing numerous obstacles along the way, we remained determined to give this wolfdog a second chance. At first, he struggled to trust me, but as his world changed, he gained confidence and started to come out of his shell. When he made mistakes I insisted that it was because of pain or a misunderstanding in how to communicate properly with a human. Sadly, the vet labeled him dangerous, and finding him a sanctuary or new home proved impossible. I refused to give up on him. Finally, seeing him run for the first time, gaining weight and confidence, and becoming the smart, loving wolfdog he was meant to be, made it all worth it. He’s not perfect, but he is better.
This journey is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of love, patience, and hard work. It also highlights the plight of many wolfdogs out there who need our help and deserve a second chance. I share the highs and lows of rescuing a wolfdog.

DISCLOSURE: Please note that wolfdogs are canines with wolf content and require owners who can dedicate their time and resources to care for them properly. We take the responsibility of owning wolfdogs seriously and provide them with hand-fed meals, four hours of outdoor exercise every day, and daily training to address any behavior issues and help them navigate the world. Although wolfdogs can be skittish and self-serving, they are also incredibly sweet and affectionate. However, if rehoming ever becomes necessary, it's important to note that wolfdogs do not fare well in shelters (as in they don’t wake up) and typically do not get a second chance. Thus, owning a wolfdog is a significant responsibility that requires a deep commitment to their well-being.

We adopted a young "husky mix" in 97 that turned out to be an Artic wolf mix that looked a lot like yours. He was an awesome animal... RIP Chinook.

Chinook will be there to greet you on the other side.

@Bill Well Fun fact a Chinook is a rare dog breed in USA today they were mainly used as sled dogs. Also, my condolences for your loss 😔

[@billwell9266]

@@hypewulf8261 Thanks. Been a long time but still miss him. Our vet at the time found the breeder and he called them a "Chippewan Husky" which was about 50% artic wolf, 25% husky and 25% malamute. He was 125 pounds, almost 3' to the shoulders, and 6' nose to tail.

I had the honor of having raised a wolfdog. He was Mexican Gray Wolf and German Rottie. Natives had bred them for money and Rex was the runt so they hung him on a fence and I rescued him. He always had that scar under his fur. He was so intelligent and well trained that we had neighbor's in the woods who had every kind of poultry imaginable including a giant turkey named Bob. He never once harmed any of them and the lady would give him his own egg every day. He was an amazing dog. He passed from cancer and I miss him still.

Your right about the pain, it had sucked the life out of him, the withdrawal, the nervousness, the irritability was the pain. I get upset when vets suggest that a pet is not worth caring for or other people so easily telling you to get rid of him, you know because you have communication w/ these animals, w/ your Beautiful large wolf kin dogs 🐺

[@sushifiggy]

I'm so glad that you understood exactly what this poor animal needed. So many folks would see his behavior as aggression only, and treat him poorly. Your heart recognized exactly what he needed and you gave it to him! You both get to reap the rewards! What a great story and thanks for sharing 😊

[@LauraTeAhoWhite]

I'm sorry, but what kind of vet would refuse care to a dog who is in pain? Of course animals are going to act out in fear when they are suffering. They don't know what is going on, it is our job as care takers to make their world as safe and comfortable of place to live in (even if it means facing our own fears). Thank you for giving this good boy a second chance.

[@CliveWallace-bx7rg]

I sincerely hope she found better Vet. Too many of them are not worthy of their fees.

[@don2deliver]

I can't fault a Vet that sees a potentially dangerous dog and doesn't want his treatment of that animal to be seen as legally enabling a dangerous situation. Clearly this woman had resources many people can't provide.

[@OkamiLyra]

@@don2deliver I can't either, but it looks like he was muzzled when he was taken to the vet which heavily decreased that risk so to me, their response was a bit much in this very specific case.

[@AzureLupine]

​@@don2deliver dangerous is a relative term. I have more scars and cuts on my hands working with cats than any of the big scary dogs that would come in.

[@don2deliver]

@@AzureLupine Cats generally won't chase down and bite small children in the numbers than dogs can. Trying to restrain or remove a cat brings on defensive actions on their part. And yes cats can draw lots of blood fast, but it's not the same. Meanwhile my dog will lick my wounds to help them heal.

[@michaelbraum77]

NO dog is a LOST CAUSE!!! With patience and love you can make those past Issues exactly that! PAST!!! I love wold dogs, almost more than normal dogs. We had a half white german shepherd half timberwolf mix that we named Baby because we rescued her from some in-breds that were feeding the puppies pizza crust at 4 weeks old! She was easily one of the best dogs in my life! She tried about 3 times to be the alpha in the house. But much like wolves do in the wild all we had to do is flip her onto to her back with her belly exposed each time and she never tried again. She learned her place in the "pack". So happy there are people like the one in this video in the world to give the "lost causes" the time and love they need! Thank you!

[@monah5532]

Much respect for the work you've done. We should no longer tolerant animals paying the price to bolster someone's vanity or insecurity (i.e. dog as an accessory to make a "statement"). For every cute, loved pup out there, there are their parents locked in horrific puppy mills. Yes, there are responsible breeders, but every "made to order" pup is a dog that takes the place of the many less cute, older dogs who need a home.

I have one now.. he's been with me 4 yrs now..he is a rescue as well.. he still has some issues we are working on but other than that he is so awesome..When I look into his beautiful blue eyes and see the fear still lingering it breaks my heart .bhe sti has nightmares even the daytime!

I am so glad there are ppl out there that truly understand dogs/Wolves/ Coyotes. About 7--8 years I was working at a dog rescue. The owner called me up and said there is a dog here and none of us have real big dog experiences. You are the only one. I asked geesh how big is it. Well, even i was taken aback. He was a Turkish Kangal/Anatolian Shepard/American Grey wolf. He was rehomed every year until his 61/2 birthday. He is 163#s and is 14.5 years. I made him a promise to find him the very best home. Well a few months later he was already home at my house. The very best decision I have ever made!!!❤❤❤❤

[@philipbriney4430]

A wolfdog is a lifestyle not a pet. They are wonderfully smart but take an incredible amount of time but are so worth it. My breeder made me study for a year. Then he checked my yard and fence well his son did. Then I had to visit him and meet mommy and daddy. The final step was putting a deposit down on a future pup. Kali lived with me for 18 solid years. She was great but in many ways lived up to her name lol.
