Mayetta was brought to Dr. Wolfs office by a man who said "look at the cute fox puppy that I found." He was told that it was a coyote puppy. He left his phone number so that after we determined whether or not the puppy could be returned to it's natural home, we could find out exactly where he had found her.

After Jean Jacobs, a rehabilitator, Dr. Wolf, and I decided that she was a good candidate to be taken back to her home territory, we tried calling the telephone number for three days. We never received an answer. The decision was made to keep her.

Since I have had her, I have determined that she was too well socialized to humans to have only been out of the woods for three days. I see this as just another example of someone picking up a wild animal out of the woods, taking it home, and then finding out that it is not going to make a good pet. She will have a home here with me for the rest of her life.

Spirit was taken to the Miami Co. Vet. Clinic by a Conservation Officer who found him in the wild. He was about three weeks old and was in very bad shape physically. He could not even suck on a bottle. He had to be tube-fed. He also had parasites, inside and out. It was determined that his mother must be dead, otherwise, he would not be in such bad shape.

He started sucking on a bottle and taking formula within twenty four hours after he came to my house. He is now eating meat and is doing quite well interacting with the female coyote puppy, Myetta. Myetta is about two weeks older. They are both getting along well with the dog, Mya. He will live here for the rest of his life.

I have another new puppy. This is number three for this year. He is a very lucky puppy.

A truck driver driving a big "eighteen wheeler",saw a shadow dart out onto the highway.

Jessica Willard applied the brakes thinking that there was no way that he had missed whatever it was. He got out of the truck and saw lying between the wheels this little puppy. Lo and behold, he had missed it.

Thinking that it was a dog puppy, he gathered her up and took her to the Vet., where he was informed that it was a coyote puppy. He took it home and started bottle feeding it thinking that he would be able to keep it for a pet. Within a month he saw that he was incorrect in that assumption.

Her name is Cherokee and she now lives with me where she will remain for as long as she lives.
