Having now reached 12 years old, when he isn’t doting on one of his favourite volunteers, or being fed, he spends most of his time relaxing in the sun and responding to people as they walk by. The life span of a wolf in captivity is around 12-14 years – the same as a large domestic dog.

Is there anything our readers should know about your mission at the Shy Wolf Sanctuary Education and Experience Centre? How can our readers support the Sanctuary’s efforts, even from afar?

For the future, the Sanctuary’s most important initiative is to move. They have been making the most of a 2.5 acre lot in residential area since 1993 and have now out grown the space. They are currently searching for around 40 acres in Lee or Collier County to purchase and develop. This of course is going to come with a heavy cost, and any donations world-wide will be a great support.

They also have a gofundme page to go along with a few follow-up articles making sure that everyone knows that there are a lot of other gorgeous yet displaced Wolves, WolfDogs and other exotics out there in desperate need of rescue and there is an urgent need for this new facility to save them.

From the attention the centre has received it is clear that the world loves Yuki almost as much as the Sanctuary Staff does. Truth be known, there are so many more beautiful Wolves, WolfDogs and other exotics out there that are in need of being rescued.

The Shy Wolf Sanctuary is desperately in fund raising mode so that there will be enough funds to build a much larger facility.

It’s a humongous task and certainly one that they cannot do alone. It would be great to see many new friends of Yuki and the Sanctuary make a small donation.
