My name is Ken...I'm a retired Federal Government employee of 38 years wich includes 4 years in the Air Force, a Vietnam Vet... and I have over 28 years of experience with wolves and wolfdogs."

I was educated by a very highly respected gentleman and his wife who resided in Nevada. They owned and operated a fairly secret test site in the middle of the desert. Their passion was the wolf. They had two enclosures, one with wolfdogs and one with wolves.

In one of my Govt. positions, my job took me to that test site 1 week a month for 13 years. Instead of heading into town to the casino's like my assistants did, I stayed at the site in the evenings and learned about wolves and wolfdogs. Studied for hours upon hours their behaviors and salient characteristics. Working my way into the enclosure with the wolfdogs then the wolves, we became friends. I got more involved and brought my education and experiences back east with me and began my own private operation of helping save wolfdogs and trying to change thier reputation.

With the introduction of the internet...after having lost my first wolfdog at age 11 due to a heart condition (which i brought back from a litter born at the test site, a rescued Alaskan timber unaltered mated with a 1/2 redwolf 1/2 husky before it could be blocked) , I began communication with the other members out there in the wolfdog community.... for the loss of my Nikona had thrust me into a deeper passion for the wolfdog, she was my "soul-dog"...she taught me alot about life, and the true spirit of the misunderstood wolfdog. Read her story here

After spending some time communicating with the wolfdog community, I founded this organization with the untiring help of our Secretary/Treas. Karen C. from OK.....in order to fill a gap and provide service to the many hard working untiring underfunded wolfdog rescue sanctuaries......

We are recognized by the Defenders of Wildlife for our effort and experitise in wolfdog identification and placement, and many State and County shelters call upon me and some other members to come forth and phenotype animals labled as "wolfdogs" to insure that the right placement for them takes place. 90% of these animals turn out to be dogs.....and it's very refreshing to have them placed in the normal adoption circuit and taken off the "dangerous animal" list of the shelter

I tell my story not to brag or boast, but to clearly identify myself, and some others in our organization as "wolfdog experts", for that can save lives, both with authorities and in the placement of "would be adoptions".

Feel free to email me privately.

I have spent an entire night in an enclosure with pure wolves, unprotected and alone, sharing fellowship with the animals and communicating, experiences I shall honor and take to my grave........... these animals deserve much more than the U.S communities are giving them.... let's work together to change that.
