Wolf Teacher Schedule

Our relentlessly vivid imagination sees 2011 filled with a diversity of wolf teachings, and outreach tables at faires & festivals! We look forward to working with old friends, while enlarging our territory with the new.

Program scheduling is always in the works, so contact us about any time frame. To arrange a date for the Wolf Teacher program at your school or group, or the outreach table at your festival or event, call or write to Pam.

The wolf outreach table at faires and festivals expands our contact with the general public. We give out handouts, sell enviro-friendly fundraisers, network into new contacts, and share wolf lore with endlessly curious passers-by. Presence of the table enhances the environmental image of the event. C'mon friends, let's hear from you! Here's your chance to walk the talk. Volunteer to help! It's fun! You'll meet like-minded people and learn a lot!

About Mission:Wolf

Mission:Wolf, Colorado and traveling live wolf ambassadors will make their 23rd annual Northeast tour this fall. They will give 26 presentations in 16 places, including New York State, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

The wolf ambassadors are the most socialized of the 40 wolves and wolf-hybrids that now live at Mission:Wolf. All have been taken in from varying circumstances and will live at Mission:Wolf for the rest of their lives. Mission:Wolf is an educational facility that does no breeding, selling or experimentation. It is open to the public, free, visitors and volunteers welcome.

This year's traveling wolf ambassadors:

Magpie or Maggie is 9 years old and arrived at the sanctuary with her sister, Raven, when just a pup. She was part of a litter that was produced for a movie project. When the handler wanted only boys for the movie, a home at Mission:Wolf for Maggie & Raven. She is full wolf.

Zeab (Arabic for wolf) will be 1 1/2 this October, not yet mature as wolves mature at 2 years. He comes from a wolf breeding facility in Florida that found themselves with more wolves than they could handle and appealed to Mission:Wolf to take in Zeab and his sister. He is full wolf.

Abraham is 5 years old and was found wandering and dumpster-diving in Salt Lake City when he was still a puppy. Though his origin is not known, it's obvious that he's part wolf and part husky. Shelters will not adopt out wolf hybrids and instead put them down. Luckily for Abraham, his rescuer knew about Mission:Wolf, and they had room at the time to take him in. Blessed with a sunny, outgoing personality, Abraham appealed to Maggie and she welcomed him as a traveling companion and program ambassador.

More information about all the wolves can be found at the web site: http://www.missionwolf.com.
