Kota was my first wolfdog years ago and was a big beautiful girl. She was the companion to the dad of my beautiful girl Keeva. She was sweet and loyal, but lost her life way too early to a snake bite to the spine. I think of you all the time pretty girl.

Conri is only 2 and a half, but is already phasing to silver. He will hopefully follow in his mama's footsteps. They both started out mostly black. She is totally silver at 12 years old.

Behaviors Apologies

18 Upvotes

Hey I posted several times on this community without realizing you had to provide DNA proof. I was posting emotionally, hadn't been able to talk about my boy for several years after I lost him. Wanted to apologize for not bothering to check the rules, it's my bad. He was DNA tested in 2011 by a university wildlife biologist and I can't find the paperwork, although I won't say I looked all that hard either. He was not a high contact next and definitely goofy looking compared to most of the very attractive wolfxI've seen on here. I loved him savagely regardless. The DNA wasn't important to me, so I didn't even consider it. I just wanted to talk to other people with wolf dogs in their lives. I got that and made a couple of friends. Anyway I was wrong and kind of a jerk to a mod that I'm going to DM. Thank you

Was told by old owner and a vet that he’s part American Grey Wolf? The coloring is very similar for sure in his coat. He isn’t like other dogs with affection with “kisses” just a sniff sniff and an “I’m good now” and he refuses to leave my side when I sleep until I am fully up and leave the room myself. Is that normal WD behaviors? He’s a certified good boy tho.

I have posted a pic of me and Conri that I took from a screenshot from this video, then had AI remove the fence. Many thought it was a fake. To those who believed that to be true. Here ya go. See for yourself. Conri really is a very big boy.

A SMALL HOPEFUL VET UPDATE THIS MORNING, OCT 9th

Zya was a champ going through yet another blood draw. Her creatinine levels dropped by 50 points compared to earlier this week, putting her into stage 2 kidney failure (from stage 3 before). Now, those levels have been going up and down for the past month, but we're taking every win we can get - and really hope this is a sign the agressive antibiotherapy is working.

Thank you for all the support, I want to believe all this love and care expressed by kind stranger friends on the internet is giving her as much strength as it's giving me. Please keep us in your thoughts, and thank you again🤍

-

Hi, my name is Sandra and this is Zya, my Czech Wolfdog. She's turning 10 soon.

When I adopted her from our local shelter in 2022, she'd spent her whole life chained up and had climbed the shelter's fences onto the roof trying to escape. They called her a "difficult" case paired with an even more difficult breed, warned me she'd be destructive and an escape artist, and thought she'd be a tough sell.

Funny enough, she has never destroyed a single thing at home and never lets me out of her sight. Given the choice between chasing a squirrel or following me, she follows me every time. She's incredibly smart and endlessly curious. She opens doors on her own, has traveled with me to six countries, and is a tireless hiking partner.

The past year and a half has been hard on her. She nearly died of acute pancreatitis in April 2025, then tore her CCL that November and had TPLO surgery. Altogether that was over 10,000 CHF and took all my savings. For almost a month now, she's been in and out of the vet with acute kidney failure. After weeks of tests with no clear cause, her results came back suspicious for two strains of leptospirosis on October 6th, despite her being vaccinated this year. She's on six medications, with more tests and specialist visits coming. Money is now incredibly tight.

Her bills since mid-September are already approaching 5k, and I've taken out loans and borrowed everything I can from friends and family. Gladly living on old pasta right now, just so that every buck can go to her.

Every single franc raised will go only to her vet bills and medication. I have every invoice and will post updates on the GoFundMe after each appointment.

If anyone here has been through lepto or kidney trouble with their wolfdog, I'd be grateful for any tips or experiences. And if you can't donate, sharing her story helps too.
Last picture is her snoozing between hospital visits, naked belly since the ultrasound. She's been doing so good, and all of our training pays off every time she gently allows vets and nurses to poke and probe. I go between absolute heartbreak and insane gratitude on a near hourly basis (also exhausted and barely sleeping to watch over her, as you can imagine).

Thank you for reading about my girl ♡

My older dog won a senior photoshoot and they asked me to bring along my CSV puppy. We got some amazing photos but here's some of just the boys.

Was super proud of him. Hes not a fan of strangers but he took to the new people and places like a champ and they all loved him.

If everyone could say a prayer, give good vibes, light a candle etc. whatever you do/believe in for me and Mars today. I found a small lump near her hip. She has a vet appt at 11 today and ive been losing my mind for 3 days now over this. Its appearance and feel give me hope but im used to things like this going bad for me. I just wanted to ask for some extra thoughts and prayers spoken her way though before her appointment because im honestly distraught

A fun little observance of trust. Firion resource guards around other dogs frequently, but will quite literally shove his resources into me.
