I am a newbie with a Nikon D3000. I am a retired structural ironworker, and retired volunteer firefighter. My wife and I have a rescue for wolf/dogs or some call them wolf/hybrids. I have been learning from all of you and I am coming off the auto mode. Thank you all.

I like your badge photo guy. :) Maybe I could do that for my old department here. I told my new younger Chief that old war horses are supposed to die in battle not in the pasture.

Welcome--you can learn a lot here. I've added a pic of my wolf dog, Timber. He adopted us 5+ years ago, and is a real sweetie. He's grey/timber/mexican red wolf mixed with collie/german shepherd, an unusual mix for a "hybrid".

I used to have a female that was a collie mix. She had the long hair of a collie but the coloring of a Mexican grey.

cool--We have a rescue group just south of Sandpoint, ID (which is closer to us than Seattle) that has 27 wolves that they keep for educational purposes. I've gone a number of times and really love interacting with their pack. What surprises me most is that they have more arctic wolves than timber or greys.

If you decide to or get the permission to, let me know as I have a lot of information and resources that would help you.

We have 50 wolf/dogs here that I take care of. I give tours and have people that come around once in awhile that play with the critters.
I also have a young lady that brings autistic children here for therapy.
I have high school kids that do their school volunteer time here.
Once in a while I allow people to do their community service time here, depending on what they did wrong in society.
This is baby

Education is essential for people to understand these animals. We had a vet here that wouldn't treat Timber because they won't treat wolves or their mixes. This was before we owned him. Our vet is fine, mostly because he was neutered when we got him.

Our vet is about 30 miles away and is the only one within 100 miles that will work on our critters. That being said, she does not give us any kind of break on the fees she charges. $300-$350 for spay/neuter. House calls are $100 just to come through the gate.
They take appointments only, if it is an emergency you have to go to the animal hospital and they do not work on wolf/dogs.
