Please accept our heartfelt appreciation for supporting the Wolfwood Refuge third annual Art Auction on Sept. 12. Your community support and generosity helps to manage the veterinary costs and food for over 60 wolves that reside at the refuge.

We are impressed and truly honored by the response we received: Everyone we asked for help said yes. People that weren't asked approached us at the event, and offered their help next year. We encourage you to visit our website for updates, ask that you contact us for a tour or let us know if you'd like to be involved: www.wolfwoodrefuge.org, (970) 946-9606 or email: wolfwood1995@hotmail.com.
