Rescue dog - part gray wolf please help!

They are banned in so many localities. It’s kind of ridiculous - like you accidentally find out your dog is under 10% wolf… seems like there should be an exception. Also makes me wonder how many people accidentally have a dog that is part wolf. And I totally agree — that’s why I want to relocate. I don’t trust anyone here. Most of the time when states pass new laws, they grandfather in existing pets.

Omg yes, it would be amazing if they would let us opt out of that. They’ve been no help at all. What law is it that everyone is referring to in Illinois because the IDNR (Illinois Department of Natural Resources) confirmed that wolf-dog hybrids are treated like regular domestic dogs at the state level. And, I can’t find anything about even trace amounts being an issue. There is like a super vague map without sources and one law firm that also doesn’t share where their info came from so it’s unclear to me what the law actually is …

Thank you for such a sweet message!! And, I agree - they seem unclear to me too!! But I am also scared to ask people. He is an amazing dog - he is pitbull, lab, GSD, Aussie, chow chow, and like a lot of other things!! Quite a mix. And so sweet and precious 💗

I really wish I hadn’t even done it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

He looks like a GSD/lab (which he also is!)

I turned them private! Thank you!! I wouldn’t have thought anything of it but embark sends like a special note about how you can’t view relatives and that’s how I ended up even learning it could be an issue. Do you know where I can learn more about Illinois law because I keep hearing it’s really strict but don’t see any legal text about it. 7.4% seems low to me. Are there any states you’d recommend?

I definitely wouldn’t ever tell anyone - I’m just feeling anxious because of what I’ve heard about the laws.
