Mission:Wolf is reaching maturity as an organization, and so are many of our resident wolf friends. Beyond the age of 8 and under the age of 3 we experience a significant need for diet changes and medical care.

Many veterinarians who we work with provide us with outstanding care for the wolves. Dr. William Hancock has repeatedly donated his time and clinic for the care of many wolves. In fact, when Crimzon was diagnosed with diabetes and was in need of insulin, Dr. Hancock rushed in his own car to meet us halfway from the refuge and the vet office.

While most of our veterinarians donate a portion of the cost of the various surgeries, drugs and office time, they can't be reasonably expected to provide these services for free. A typical surgery costs between $1,000 and $3,000; in the last year there have been four of them. Less dramatic vet runs can easily cost from $200.00 to $500.00, depending on what the problem is and what follow-up treatment is required.

With the increased need for more vet services, we see the need to create a fund for the sole purpose of paying veterinary bills. Contributions of cash and medical supplies will be dispersed from a fund established in the honor of Crimzon. The Crimzon Fund is to be used for the future care of all wolves living at M:W
