August 22, 2008 In April of this year the Clinton Humane Society began a wonderful journey with a special animal. That journey ended happily this week end at a wonder sanctuary in Nevada. A beautiful dog was dropped off in our outdoor kennels in April. It was evident to us immediately that we were dealing with a wolf hybrid. She was timid and unsure of her situation, so we knew we had to act quickly for her sake. It was decided that only two of the staff would work with her for a short time to gain her trust and to make her comfortable. We generally do not adopt wolf hybrids, as they can be unpredictable if not raised correctly, and this family left us no information. We named her Miriah, and that is where the story begins. We discovered an animal that had been well cared for. She seemed to be housebroken, she knew how to sit and lie down. All of this, but when we looked at her, into her, we could tell she was lost and certainly not happy. One of the staff (way to go Michele) started walking her daily to gain trust and to get her the exercise needed. She spent a great deal of time with her daily to ease her uneasiness. She certainly liked it outside the kennels runs better than in the kennels. Her personality start to blossom and we saw little glimpses of play and joy. She loved to have some petting time and a good lean on the person petting her. She was terribly thin though, so we wormed her and gave her extra feeding and treats. Well, by the time she left us, she had gained a needed 10 pounds. And by this time, she was giving two of us some loving kisses when we sat with her. A search was started nationwide for a wolf hybrid rescue or sanctuary. Of course like our shelter they were all full, with a long - long waiting list. Many of the rescues were helpful with contact information, but alas nothing could be found. So we waited. While we waited Miriah flourished and we fell head over heels in love with her. She was a kind and gentle spirit, but was lost in the wrong body and world. We could still not tap into her happiness and what she needed. She had passed her behavior evaluation and she passed with flying colors, although she was only tolerant of other dogs. It took some time for me to consider this, but I decide we might try adoption. But everyone that came in asked about the "wolf" in the kennel. No one with any type of qualifications even inquired. Now it is August and the shelter is running way past capacity and we are starting to be concerned with Miriah. But, I made a promise to Miriah and the staff about her and this promise I would not break. We are having a difficult time giving her the attention she so desperately needs. A very trusted volunteer at the shelter started walking her for us when she was in town, which helped a great deal keeping Miriah happy. (Great job Patty!) Against every instinct in my body I posted her nationwide on the internet and to my delight, we were contacted by two wonderful wolf and wolf hybrid sanctuary's. One was on the east coast and one in the state of Nevada. I found out they were both wonderful sanctuaries and had to make a decision based on Miriah's happiness. I chose the one in Nevada, as they were looking for a special wolf hybrid to replace a beautiful spirit named Momma, they just lost to cancer. Miriah may have the chance to be and education hybrid, she certainly has all the social qualifications going. After many conversations with the Kelli at the Bacho Nowhidee sanctuary (meaning My Brother The Wolf) in Nevada, arrangements were made to get Miriah to them as soon as we could. So, on August 15th, we started the journey west to her new home and new life. Sunday morning we arrived at the sanctuary and she was introduced to her new clan slowly. It took less than an hour, and our little Miss Miriah had won the hearts of not only the wolf hybrids in her enclosure, but the founders were just jumping for joy at her lovely spirit. (OK Chris, I know you do not jump for joy, but had to say it). These two wonderful people care for the lost wolves and wolf hybrids that humans have tried to make pets. The critters in their care receive the best of the best and are allowed to be who they are meant to be. They are no longer lost, but become happy and free to live the spirit of the wolf that was meant to be. Miriah took to Kelly immediately and it was evident Miriah was now really home. By the next day C.J. was getting kisses, this was the first male that I had seen Miriah take an actual liking too. Kelly and Chris (C.J) opened their home and hearts to me and Miss Miriah. I had the opportunity to meet two very special, dedicated and caring individuals who care deeply for the animals in the sanctuary. That part of the journey will stay with me forever. The shelter staff and myself are honored to have been a part of this journey with our Miss Miriah. I had to opportunity to see joy and happiness come through her eyes; I had the opportunity to meet two very special people that will love and care for her forever. Miriah you came into our lives unexpectedly, your world was rocked. But… you learned to trust again, you forgave. You left a part of your heart and soul with each one of us, we will never forget you Miss Miriah, thank you. Kelli and C.J. One of my favorite sayings, "This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind…let it be something good." Needless to say, you have done something marvelous.

Mabel Yep you guessed it I am a Puggle, designer breed at shelter. I have not had a good life, but I am a happy girl. I am partially housebroken and very active. I have a flaw though, someone was not nice to me, so I do not like to be picked up. They have labeled me a biter for this reason, but it has only happened 2 times. Once when I first got here and was scared and the second time something hurt. I have been at a foster home and lived with other dogs and a cat, I liked both my foster parents and sat with the man. But I do not like all men. I love the ladies, and they love me. I need a patient home or someone that understand some of my behavior little issues. Are you that person?
