Yesterday we took in two young unreleasable coyotes from a wildlife rehabilitation center
north of here (see photo above)
That's "Shelby" on the left and her brother "Brody" on the right. They were taken to the
wildlife rehab center from two separate homes where the people knew each other. Although the center was told these two are
4 months old it is quite obvious they were not born this spring. They were probably born last spring and are just over a year
old. Our guess is that they'd been taken illegally from the wild before or shortly after their eyes opened and kept as pets
until they became too much to handle.
Since both are extremely social with humans releasing them back into the wild is not an
option. They will remain here at our non-profit wolf center where we are committed to giving them a wonderful home for the
rest of their lives. But we very much need your help!
Shelby and Brody need more spacious quarters than their emergency pen affords them!
Although they love going for walks with us and are used to a collar and leash they do need to also have a chance to live like
coyotes in a large secure pen with plenty of room to explore, play and run. As they mature they will of course act much more
"coyote-like" and will need their own enriched habitat even more!
The cost of constructing a proper habitat for Shelby and Brody is estimated to be between
$2500-$3500. This includes not only secure fencing but also shelter and den areas and habitat "furniture" such as hollowed
out logs, brush piles, tree stumps, boulders etc.
Every contribution, however small or large, will make a difference so please help if you
can. When donating you will be given an opportunity for comments so please note the money you are sending is for the "Shelby
and Brody Fund."
