Urgent help is needed!
13 years ago
I've never done anything like this before, but this is a crisis I cannot overlook.
The Wolf Mountain Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that has been rescuing wolves since 1980. The owner Tonya takes much pride in her work and dedication to these animals. For a donation, visitors to the park can be allowed to go into the enclosures with the wolves and interact with them. This is where I met Istas.
Istas Pejuta means Medicine Eyes, he is a MacKenzie Tundra Wolf, now 4 years old and alpha of his pack. A selected few were allowed into the enclosure where the powerful creature greeted the 'trespassers' to his turf. He rubbed his body against us to exchange his scent, and licked the back of our heads as a offering. Affectionate and strong, Istas is in dire need of help. On February 3rd he was rushed to the hospital with pancreatitis, within a recent update it was said that they found a tumor as well. The tissue is being biopsied, it may be cancerous. Since WMS is a non-profit rescue facility they don't currently have the funds to cover this operation. If any of you could spare ANY amount, it'd be going to save the life of a creature many of you may portray. I real wolf is real trouble.
If you are interested in adding aid to the fund you can read more on how to do that here: http://www.wolfmountain.com/Updates%202011.htm

If you're in California, perhaps even consider taking a trip to see them for yourself!
Istas, like all the wolves at WMS means a great deal to me. He's a brother with no blood trail and has truly captured my heart, in the way only another animal can. Please, keep him in your thoughts and wishes, if you can spare anything to the donation fund, that would work too. He had always been the strong being, the healer, the protector. Now he's in need of the same treatment. Thanks for taking the time to read.
