As  a keeper, there are many challenges in each day and lately the cold weather as really been tough for us. When the temps are in the teens and 20s, locks freeze, enclosure doors freeze to the ground, hoses freeze and water in water buckets freeze, not to mention, we freeze! It takes more time and lots of energy to feed the animals when it’s this cold, but we do it for the animals. Some of our animals do not tolerate really cold temps, so they come inside and enjoy some warmth. We are really looking forward to a heat wave with temps in the 30s and 40s!

Our newest additions to the CNC Red Wolf pack arrived this weekend! We received two 9 month old brothers who were born at Sandy Ridge, NC. Their father is the same father of our 2007 pups and their mothers are sisters. One has a stub tail that happened when he was less than 3 months old. They are just beginning to settle into their enclosure, learn their surroundings and our routines. We’re glad to have them here!
