A sad dog sat in the corner of a shelter, but they discovered a secret that would
change everything, from near euthinasia to happiness....bless his heart....
A neglected stray seen roaming the streets was taken to a shelter to receive treatment like any other dog.
But the problem was that Castiel was no ordinary dog. He would require special treatment in a special place because of his secret that was about to be revealed.
The 'stray' was found wandering the suburbs of Los Angeles. He was malnourished but wearing a collar, a strong sign he was kept as a pet.
Thanks to "all the wonderful people", for all their planning and efforts who made this such a happy story.
Cheers and Beers, to Castiel and his girfriend, have a wonderful life.

Wow, I'd bet Castiel would look beautiful with fully grown out healthy fur and at normal weight. I've known of several Wolf-Dogs. The neighbors behind us had two! Huge animals!

A very interesting story indeed.
I to once had a wolf dog rescue, over 25 years ago. I got him when he was just an abandoned little puppy and named him Max. He was just a scrawny little thing when I got him and I wasn't sure exactly what mix of dog he was. That little guy could eat, and eat. The vet I took him to said he was a mix of Gray Wolf and some large breed of domestic dog, most likely German Shepherd.
I raised Max for two years but eventually had to find him a new home more suited to his nature. He was quite friendly but by nature he wanted to be outside. I also had two pet cats at the time and Max and the cats got along very well. I gave him to a friend who lived on a large tract of land outside Ashville NC where he lived to the old age of 13.

I've always felt sorry for wolf hybrids - they exist in a limbo, not truly domesticated and not truly wild. A former neighbor had two hybrids, one a wolf/husky mix and the other a coyote/shepherd mix, both beautiful animals. They would occasionally get loose and it would take their owners days to find them (we're way out in the country in the middle of the woods). The owners eventually moved and I have no idea what happened to the dogs. A hunter friend told me of seeing a canine the looked like the coyote/shepherd out in the woods. Maybe both animals were released to the wild when the owners moved - who knows if they were able to adapt to freedom or if the local coyote packs accepted either of them.

Graham, people who abandon their pets deserve some very hard punishment in my book. To wander the streets and starve and never get the proper care just breaks my heart. Many of these dogs are taken in by animal groups nursed back to health and then found a good home to finish out their lives. I'm glad these two have found each other and may they spend many years together. Thanks for sharing this story with us, and enjoy a cold one my friend.

What a fantastic looking animal. Glad it had a happy ending. People really need to think before they get a pet, especially a hybrid. It's not okay to get one just for the novelty of it. That wears off real quick. Cheers.

Thank you and you are very welcome. I'm also an animal person as is my wife. We currently have 4 indoor pets, 2 Coton De Tulear dogs, a mouse and a Cockatiel. We also have many, many free range pets that come to our bird feeders year round. One big advantage to the free range pets is they keep the local insect population in check.
Last year I came across a young BlueJay that was injured. It could barely fly and it had a laceration under one of its wings. We took the bird to the only person licensed in the county to care for wild animals. She set the broken wing and treated the cut and nursed the bird back to health. Eventually the bird was released back into the wild. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal but BlueJays are one of my favorite small wild birds and I don't like seeing any animal suffer.
