WOLFDOG
Mohan was bought as a puppy and lived most of his life with the same people. They did everything you should do for a young dog and even took him to obedience classes and training so that he’d learn manners. Their efforts and love show with how affectionate and well behaved on leash he is now. Since coming to Shy Wolf Sanctuary in March 2019 as a 12 year old senior citizen, Mohan has fast become one of our main ambassadors. We made several moves to make a spot for him upon learning this older boy couldn’t move out of state with the family he’d known his whole life.
Dancer had been by herself since losing Rebel but hadn’t accepted any new friends. It was strategically planned to shift some animals into new enclosures to better their lives and to enable us to move Dancer into a new space at the same time we brought Mohan in as a rescue. If Dancer hadn’t accepted him, we had nowhere to keep this sweet boy. The day came and we all held our breaths as we walked…and walked…and allowed them to gradually get to know each other. Mohan was never a concern but our sweet girl Dancer, having lost two companions already, wasn’t that quick to warm up to a new guy. Since the first introduction we’ve caught them sleeping near each other and she’s even shown some anxiety when he leaves her to travel as an ambassador. Who knows? Maybe one of these days Dancer will decide to go along with him on an outing. In the meantime, this Dynamic Duo is our main pair meeting and greeting everyone and showing the better side of wolfdogs.
Dancer and Mohan come from the same breeder and ended up with the social genes that are less prevalent in two other animals from the same line (Kiya and Mia). It’s impossible to tell what that little fuzz ball will grow up to be personality-wise. They could be a social butterfly like Mohan or a timid and shy animal like Mia.
