Wouldn a wolfdog be happier in a sanctuary with its own kind?
It is often assumed that when a wolfdog needs rescue, the only appropriate place for the animal to go is a sanctuary. But for many animals, nothing could be further from the truth. Many wolfdogs, especially those with lower wolf content, enjoy human company. Like a dog, they can become anxious or depressed when deprived of that human company and contact. Most sanctuaries have too many animals, however, for them to devote much personal time to playing with and interacting with each and every social wolfdog on a frequent, regular basis. Wolfdogs that are social to and like humans usually do best in a private home, where they can be given a lot of one-on-one attention on a daily basis. Sanctuaries are typically best only for the most unsocial of animals. In addition to not being the best place for a human-social animal, most sanctuaries are full, and it is nearly impossible to find one able to take in a new wolfdog.
