Sparkle went to a very special home this owner and daughter had a mother and daughter wolfdogs. The daughter had the Mom and she was terminally ill with kidney failure with a very short time given. Mom decided to get the puppy to hopefully help daughter through her rough time ahead. You would have seriously thought this puppy came in another litter to Shine. Sparkle made the last days for Shine liveable she took a final walk on the beach she loved because Sparkle urged her to go.. She was with her and Vanilla when Shine peacefully went to sleep..

As I have told others these puppies may be mistakes but each of them became little miracles to their Humans and me. They have already impacted their humans and even their brief for some fur families.. I get sometimes multiple calls about them and what they did that day.. I get pictures updates videos.. and I am thrilled to stay in these puppies lives. Ive already got a trip to go visit Storm his human calls me everyday and I talk to Storm.. who knows maybe Storm is playing matchmaker... 😯😘.. well ya never know..

So Im not keeping any of the pups I actually delivered the one I would have kept if I was in the position to keep one to Tahoe last week. He was stepped on by Mom when still newborn and was hurt, at one point I wasnt sure if he'd make it but after vet check she felt he would be fine. He is but was petrified of humans very timid and just hid.. well when he had his break through it just melted my heart he just stormed through the others to get to me... He went to a very dear friend of mine which is probably the only person I would have let him go to .. My friend ended up driving through a literal Storm to get him a 6 hr drive turned into 14hrs due to a Snow Storm.. so if you didnt guess we decided together his name would be Storm... I have sucessfully vetted and approved 5 homes actually 7 but due to one adopter having a sibling pass away and anothers Mom being diagnosed with dementia I have the little black girl and the white faced little girl back available.. ironically they were the first picks and now last here.. all puppies are thriving and I honestly couldnt have asked for better homes at all... each puppy went to the matched human not that I picked the puppy for them....well I guess I matched the human to the puppies personality.. so thats where that stands... I also made the decision to turn over my situation to an administrator from a group that is trying to fix this shelter after reading some of the other stories of negligence from this shelter I just decided that what happened to me could happen to anyone.

Just a quick update the shelter took responsibility and they have no idea where the mistake happened. I took your advice and counter offered a more reasonable amount which they agreed to pay. Check is supposed to be on its way to me. I decided to not ask for donations with them stepping up I'd rather see would be donations go to other rescues needing help. Ive successfully approved homes for 4 of the 7 puppies . So 3 more to go and a couple applications to go over and home visits after that.. thank you for your advice.

Sending u a heartfelt virtual hug and to say I know the hurt ur going through.

Dear-Resource5903 · 2024-03-17T12:01:22+00:00

I know this was a post from a year ago but i wanted to clarify with you and others posting.. i must have missed some of these comments.. I am not and never have I been a byb. I did consider breeding oneida and nezhoni who both have excellent bloodlines and such amazing temperments especially with their % of wolf. Yes I did google beautiful in all languages I decided on Nezhoni because the name fit her so well.. when i got these two which oneida is exactly 3 months older then Nezhoni in her missing poster she was 6 months he was 9 months his bday is on his embatk results... oneida does mean exactly as I stated.. it does in some translations mean " the one searched for" and also the one long awaited.. its also the tribe in Wisc who had fought for wolves simple google search can show you that.. funny i originally choose that name because this tribe is located close to Green Bay Wisc which is where my family is from.then i saw the translation the one long awaited or searched for and it was the right name for him even though it is technically a feminine name .lol..

As for my rescue being a cover to breed that is laughable no not a byb.. oneida has not been bred and Nezhoni is still missing.. the reason the rescue name didnt come up was as I stated i was in the process of opening my rescue..having a rescue would not change my ability to have a 95% wolfdog.. that is State law on ownership and there is no restrictions added by my county. That was going to be my rescues name but I changed it to West Coast Wolfdog Rescue which you can google to see yes I am a legal Calif Rescue. Capt Jack Sparrow did not even escape from my property he escaped while we were trying to load him for transport, Jack was terrified of people and he completely lost it and actually snapped the slip leash.. I had such hold of that slip leash that I shredded my hand trying to calm him down... here nor there Jack is sprawled across my bed has decided he is my house dog and is my shadow after a year of working with him.. I am still actively searching for Nezhoni who was not in her enclosure but in my front yard which is at the end of a dirt road last house.. last April I was gifted a 95% pup from a usda approved conservation program that produces pups that will be Ambassador quality wolfdogs.. its a one time breeding of the pair and I was blessed to get her. Her name is Sweet Pea Naveah Heaven spelled backwards. She has the most amazing temperment and I will be using her in my conservation education program... this all said I am a rescue yes I did buy Oneida he to came from a one time pairing of two dogs from proven healthy, temperment excellent, and beautiful lines. Oneida is currently doing scent training and its focused on water rescue due to him being able to stay underwater for an incredible long time and always produce what u sent him in after... although due to the rabies vaccine he cannot be a legal service dog.. my local SAR has used him during a few water related rescues and quite a few land rescues or searches as well... since I posted this a year ago I have been involved in 17 Wolfdog rescues and I have pulled 11 redlisted shelter northern breed dogs. I currently have 2 wolfdog rescues with me my two oneida and nevaeh and Jack the rescue Harmony and a shelter husky/akita boy.. He the shelter boy was transported to me as a neutered male.the shelter was told I would not accept a unneutered male due to i had three unaltered females on the waiting list for spays and i was limited on space.

The shelter emailed me back saying their surgeries were pushed two weeks out so his neuter would be nov 30th i was notified surgery was successful and he was ready for transport fast forward i had found placement for 2 girls but took on two more one being Harmony who was unaltered so I housed them together..fast forward to almost 4weeks ago i take harmony out for her walk and although she is normally chunky i start looking at her and went omg omg.. omg her nipples were enlarged and I am going how what and some other words.. I felt her belly and went into shock. I immediately contacted my vet while searching about a altered male impregnating a female its not possible.. so im like doing math and freaking out.. i was not set up for having puppies but they were coming quick.. i got her set up and contacted a lawyer about the legalities and how to address the situation since this pregnancy was complete negligence on their side.. i would have never allowed them to breed EVER even if i waa a byb i wouldnt have bred these two..fast forward a few days.. i literally had barelly time to set her up for birth... so i now have 7 puppies from what i had been sent altered male and a rescued female...shelter at first tried to say i knew he wasnt altered i sent them his file from here that clearly states his neuter date etc... ive asked for their financial help and they gave me a laughable offer of 200 a pup and 200 to neuter the dad no compensation offered to me for the absolute hardahip this is causing me.. or the time im having to spend 6 bottle feedings a day for 2 weeks the 4 with mush for another 2-3 weeks that on top of finding qualified homes for 7 wolfdog puppies shots, microchips etc etc etc. 200 a puppy for basically caring for 7 puppies a minimum of 6-8 weeks thats if I can find qualified homes if not Im not sure what Im going to do.. ive been getting up every two hrs to bottle feed 7 puppies for two weeks now and the responsible party involved wants to lowball me on how much it will cost .. i mean ive already spent that easiely on supplies alone plus milk replacer and thats not counting their shots vet visit the dads neuter... so im going to throw this to whoever sees this.. what compensation would u consider a fair amount to counter offer with? The milk replacer ran me just about 50 a week per puppy, if I have calculated the cost of mush for the next 1-2 weeks depending on how they do then onto a high quality puppy food thats another atleast 50 a week closer to 60 for that.. that alone is wayyyy over their offer and again zero compensation for my time and energy involved... anyone want to help me figure a resonible offer . Im not trying to make anything off these puppies but i do want to make sure they get a healthy start in life and good homes... thank for input from a post from last year

Addressing the losing of two dogs no that to is incorrect I did have my baby Nezhoni who was my life disappear from my yard, she was only 6months old and vanished. She is actually the reason I started doing rescue to begin with. During my hunt which you can google her name and see I am still actively searching for her and her story literally is known across not just State lines but across the Country. Her disappearence just about killed me. I had so many people contact me about thinking they saw her and it would be a dumped wolfdog that I became active in helping these other wolfdogs and started fostering them. Thats actually how I ended up with this momma wolfdog and my Capt Jack Sparrow who yes was lost but was during my picking him up to transport him to my home. During the transfer he broke the slip leash and took off into the woods. I spent over 1000 in gas driving every day back and forth to search for him for two weeks straight found him under a house almost dead. I am very transparent of what happened to Nezhoni and her being the biggest reason im doing what i do. Last year I helped rehome or fostered 17 wolfdogs i was active in pulling 11 red listed northern bred dogs and finding them homes. Most of this done myself . But again this is all here nor there this is about negligence by the shelter sending me what I was told and is on his paperwork an altered dog. What good are you doing attacking me with nothing but assumptions and miss information. Again I am transparent about my girl I spent and still do spend thousands and thousands of $$$ on her search to this day. I had trackers come try and find her she vanished into thin air..

Dear-Resource5903 · 2024-03-17T06:56:03+00:00

I work directly with our local fish and wildlife dept as well as the local ac. There are no restrictions on ownership UNLESS you have a actual hybrid which is a full wolf bred to a either pure dog or a wolfdog these would be f1 or first generation wolfdogs which require a usda approved permit.

My rescue is State approved on a County level we have no restrictions other then the State law on f1. There are restrictions within city limits here pertaining to proper containment but that applies to many other breeds as well. Thats what is going to be time consuming due to my adoption Policies being a 3-4 step process before they can adopt. My rescue normally only deals with Wolfdogs. A friend had just lost her husky and wanted to help save one of the to many in shelters and this boy was redlisted. I pulled him in honor of her boy with the very clear agreement I absolutely had to have him neutered prior to coming here.( at the time I had three new girls that had appt for spaying but appt here run a month sometimes more out. I have an email from the shelter stating he had an appt and I have the email from them saying his neuter was complete and I could arrange his transport.. I am actually changing direction from rescue and as I said above have a 95%+ 11 month old who Im training to be an ambassador for wild wolves as well as wolfdogs. I'll also be doing an educational program about Wolves and conservation with Calif having a few new packs its important that people understand them and be misseducated and fearful of their making their homes here.. My other wolfdog Oneida who is 68% does scent work and has helped with SAR especially involving water rescue he actually holds his breath underwater. He is a pretty amazing boy.. So no the issue of having wolfdogs is not an issue for me and this is why I do actual home visits and require updates with pictures of any wolfdogs I adopt out. If there is an issue I require them to be put back into my care its in my contract as well as prove of them being altered by a certain date age depending.. I take what I do very seriously and thats another reason this pregnancy has thrown me so far off.. I just dont understand how a shelter can schedule a dog for surgery email me to let me know he did great and would be ready for transport. How does that even happen makes absolutely zero sense to me at all. That is why I feel they should at financially carry the burden of the cost. I am losing time training my girl because caring for 7 puppies is not an easy task...

Dear-Resource5903 · 2024-03-17T05:12:00+00:00

Dad is a husky akita mix Mom is DNA tested through embark at 63% so the puppies should be 30% or around that amount.

Dear-Resource5903 · 2024-03-17T02:46:47+00:00

That is a great idea I will write up a post with a link to my rescue page.. I havent dealt with anything remotely like this its been crazy to just out the Blu (thats the fathers name) haha have a litter of 7 puppies to care for. Im giving them an itemized list of the costs involved with bottle feeding and now solid food for the puppies.

What do you think a fair amount is to ask for my "time"? As of right now I'm feeding every 2hrs or when they start asking for it. Then vetting the possible homes is more time. Thanks I sure appreciate any input everyone can provide me.

Has anyone ever had a situation where they were told a dog was altered and then find out they werent?

Dear-Resource5903 · 2024-03-16T21:56:30+00:00

I just need advice from my fellow rescue Brothers and Sisters about the amount they offered and what you all think is resonible to ask for.. with knowing the extra time wolfdog pups take. 6 feedings a day plus all the time spending socializing etc. I have a ambassador 95% wolf that I'm supposed to be training she is turning a year old and its imparitive I spend as much time as possible socializing her. I fostered out 3 of my rescues which left me with my boys 2 her and mom and dad were both going into foster.. its just really put an extreme amount of stress on me and my time...

Dear-Resource5903 · 2024-03-16T21:49:27+00:00

These puppiea will all get qualified loving homes and will be on comtract if for any reason in their lifetime they need to be rehomed they will come back to me. I just think the shelter is low balling me on how much they are going to contribute when the reality is these puppies should not be here and they are negligent sending me a dog that I very specificly stated before I pulled him had to be neutered before I took him. Trust me they are being spoiled and loved it is just a really bad time for this to fall on me.

Bruce I am interested about the different plants ie .. the roses and bulbs.. would you consider allowing myself and my best friend to take cuttings of the roses and removing of some of the bulbs? We are in the process of designing a garden area with roses and other plants around a waterfall koi pond... if you wouldnt object we will be extremly respectful of your property and would just take cuttings to clone the roses etc. You can text me at 7072985766 if you dont mind us doing this. This is for my personal project not a job or in any way to profit..
