2007 Needs and Requirements List 

• Cash or payment of electric bill which is also the water bill and the main cooling for all the animals on the rescue in the hot summer months in the desert summers. 348.00$ a month.
• A generator for the water system in the event of power failure, which has been happening more and more with the age of the current systems being exceeded in demand due to one of the highest growth rates  in the country, the higher over all summer temperatures lasting for longer periods, and it's usually 110 in the shade for 8 months, which seems like forever. 
• 24" Drum Fans , 100.00$-120.00$ at Home Depot or Lowes. Gift Cards Accepted!
• Gas cards: for gas to pick up the loads of dog food that are regularly, and generously, donated by the Arizona Humane Society, and the Safeway Distribution Center. Gas runs 80.00$ a month approximately for  hauling multiple large loads 75 miles or more each trip. 
• A shed or large metal shipping or storage container for dog food storage. WWR is out of mouse proof storage space. Please help keep the rodent and rattlesnake population down by contributing a permanent safe feed storage facility. 

• Phone and internet access: Landline:  623-546-9653. Any donations towards the phone, long distance calling,  and internet access. because as you all know I always return your calls, and the computer's DIAL-UP ACCESS is very slow, we would like to upgrade to DSL as it is now available in our area, we need your help to do make this move though. the internet access is imperative to get the animals pictures out to prospective owners, to maintain the website and to create more interest to save more wolves and wolf dogs, and to answer your emails. 
• Cell phone line which includes the ability to take pictures of the animals in the shelters, at their homes, or where ever they may be. Without this wonderful invention we are back to the dark ages of taking pictures and waiting until they are developed before they can be scanned and eventually added to the internet. Minutes compared to weeks. 
• 150.00$ a month for these services is well worth what they do to save lives. 

• Ads in the News paper. 90% of our adoptions both new, old, and repeat, have used the Arizona Republic Gazette to find us. Ads with the Rep/Gaz  are currently running 25 $ for 3 lines for 3 days for private individuals placing ads. Donations can be made to WWR for these ads or call 623-546-9653 for other options. This is an ongoing need every week. Please help soon. 
• UPDATE!!!:

With the advent of our new sites at www.wwr.petfinder.com 

 and at pets 911 and 1800 save-a-pet. among others, we have for the FIRST  TIME  in the 23 years that Where Wolves rescue has been in operation not run ads in the local newspaper. I'm not sure how many potential homes we have been losing because of this though. Normally a certain volume of adopters and homeless animals come through those ads and they are looking for Where Wolves Rescue because they have seen the ads every year for so long.  So for now we shall see if this turn out to be a good idea or not. For those of you using our rescue sites thank you very much for adopting a dog with the help of the internet.

• Revolution: VERY IMPORTANT  this a prescription required product for killing ticks, fleas and other parasites including mange, ear mites, some worms and others. The Animals look great while on this product. Where Wolves Rescue goes through 6 large breed dog sized packages (85-130 lbs) and 12 40-85 lbs packages a month. They can be split up and stretched through all the animals while still being VERY effective. monthly cost is up to 250$ and can be purchased for us through www.888petslife.com . Our Veterinarian should be on record with them. 
• Fly spray. Where Wolves Rescue would prefer that you sent a donation for this item. Although there are many products available on the market and you are welcome to send  any of them, we have found that our local feed store caries a gallon bottle of Zonk-It which is a 5 X the strength of most fly sprays and goes much farther for the money. 30.00$ a gallon
• Straw 7.00$ a bale for bedding.
• Sweet PDZ  horse stall freshener, for absorption of odors in the dog pens. 10.00$ for 50lbs at the feed store. make donation to WWR, or locally at the feed store please make a pick up.

        or a donation can be made to the rescue. A number of animals need your sponsored help please see the list below:

• Comanche,  He is a 14 year old VERY athletic male. I have current pics of him jumping on the dog house at dinner time! He has a small mole that is growing rapidly on his lower eyelid. It would benefit him to have it removed and although it is a small and quick surgery, his size will require a fair amount of anesthesia and his age will require a pre-surgery blood work up. Anyone wanting to sponsor Comanche can click on this link (still under construction) to see pics of Comanche. UPDATE: Comanche had his surgery, his eye is healing nicely anyone ho wishes to contribute to the vet fund is welcome we are desperate for donations to make these types of surgeries possible for future animals.
• Fritz is a 9-10 year old VERY athletic German Shepherd. He needs to see the vet to have his ears flushed on a weekly basis. UPDATE: Fritz has some corneal myopathy due to age and calcification in his eyes. Nothing serious , Nothing to worry about.  Unfortunately he does have serious ear infections that may require surgeries. Meanwhile he is getting his ears flushed every week, and bathed and groomed out also (this means his wondrous long feathers will have to be cut back for now) he is also on prednisone and antibiotics. There are more pics of Fritz at the following link (under construction).

• Donations to the veterinarians for an emergency fund in case we get an animal that needs a surgery, or other expensive procedure. Contact the rescue for more info on this or just send a payment directly to the Veterinarian Listed Above, Dr. Winston at Sun City West Animal Hospital. See info above.
• Rosie ( the Riveter) had a freak accident last month , she herniated a disk in a moment of exercise. She was seen by the Veterinary Neurological Center In Phoenix, They performed an MRI on her and then proceeded to operate on her herniated disk. They cut a small window in the vertebrae and removed all the herniated disk material and the blood from the broken blood vessels. She remained in their care for another 2 days at which time she came home. Rosie has been on restricted movement as she recuperates. Since this all happened at the beginning of February, it is nice to tell you all that she is recuperating nicely already. She has full range of motion, she is running about and rough housing as usual and she really needs to not let herself overdo things as just a few weeks ago she was on death's doorstep. But as dogs are prone to doing, she doesn't seem to care, and wants to be back to normal NOW!  The bill at the vet neurological center was 6000$ glad to see our emergency fund working. Meanwhile the fund will have to be replaced as one never knows when an emergency could happen. 

• To Make this rescue happen WWR will need some help here. We  need horse corralling, 2 pens and some vet bills and ferrier bills to make this happen. All in all our emergency bill would have gone to this endeavor, but now there is nothing left, so we really need your  help on this one. You can help by being an Angel and purchasing one of our Pet Angels  to show that you are some pets Angel and you have helped save a life.  Please visit our latest Pet Angel fundraiser ( page currently under construction) at the General Store or under Fund Raising. Thank you all for helping to support the Animals at Where Wolves rescue.
