| Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary is always in need of several items that will benefit the facility, volunteers, staff members, and most importantly, the animals. We would greatly appreciate any help you could us on the following items below. For your convenience, we have listed details of the product, as well as links to where you can obtain the item. Thank you from both the two-legged and four-legged here at Wild Spirit! |
| We Are Always in Need Of: | |
|
Double Strength Joint Discovery
We give Joint Discovery to all of our older animals who have problems with their hips and other joints. However, Joint Discovery would be better as a preventive against these future problems. If we could do it, we would give Joint Discovery to all of our animals in hopes to halt any developing ailments. Help us to make this possible today! |
3V Caps Skin Formula for Large/Giant Breeds
3V Caps are a combination of fish oil, Omega 3 fatty acids, and Vitamins A, B, and E. The supplement helps in coat and skin development. We hope to place Iowa Trio on this supplement, along with a couple of other animals to help their coats and health. We would appreciate your help! |

When working with raw meat, cross-contamination is always a concern. In animal care, we go through gloves faster than anything else. Because some of our volunteers are allergic to latex and powder, we hope to have a small amount of powder-free vinyl gloves. Currently, we are in desperate need of small, medium, and large sizes; we have plenty of X-large.

Our animal care division, as well as the campground and gift shop, are in need of a safe, secure, and dry storage space. A Tuff Shed looks like the most accessible and practical storage solution for us. For ease of donation, you can purchase online, over the phone, or in person, and Tuff Shed can deliver it right to where we need it! We are hoping for the Tuff Shed Garden Series - Garden Ranch of the size 10' x 12'.
With all of the raw meat we handle in the wolf kithen, a set of strong, sturdy knives is a must. The more diverse the set of knives, the better. We will need tough knives that will be able to cut through all sorts of meat and bone. The Mundial 5100 Series seems to be a good choice for us.
Eight years ago or so, two people graciously donated two 1980's Ford trucks to the Sanctuary. Sadly, they are all tuckered out and we are in need of some new ones. Sturdy, reliable trucks are vital to smooth operations within the sanctuary. We would greatly appreciate a Ford F250 4x4 crew cab long bed pick-up truck that is gasoline or diesel.
All around the sanctuary we need to put up privacy fencing. Along with having fences around the volunteer housing, privacy fence provides a pleasing look around the sanctuary. This type of fence is found at most Lowe's, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware stores. It is made of rough cut 3/4 x 5 1/4 x 6' cedar and is usally six to eight feet long panels. We would also gladly accept just the boards alone. We can use as many panels as one can imagine; we have thousands of running feet to cover.
Wild Spirit has hauling jobs several times a month, and we need a good, sturdy and road-worthy flatbed trailer for around the sanctuary and to haul things to and from the city. Northern Trailer Sales is a New Mexico company that is close enough to us that we could pick up a trailer if somone could help us purchase it.
Not a day goes by without us wishing there was a backhoe on hand. We always have earth-moving projects that get put on hold due to a tractor shortage at the sanctuary. You could save the day if you could help us get a front loader/backhoe like the Case 580M Series 2 or the 2005 Caterpillar 446D.
We have plans to redo our barriers in front of our enclosures. The barriers prevent tour guests from leaning over and petting the wolves. To reconstruct our barriers, we are going to need 164 pieces of 2 x 6 x 12' dimensional lumber. We would appreciate either the lumber itself, or gift cards to Lowe's, Home Depot, or Ace Hardware to purchase the lumber.
We have plans to redo our barriers in front of our enclosures. The barriers prevent tour guests from leaning over and petting the wolves. To reconstruct our barriers, we are going to need 42 pieces of 4 x 4 x 10' pt (pressure treated) lumber. We would appreciate either the lumber itself, or gift cards to Lowe's, Home Depot, or Ace Hardware to purchase the lumber.
We plan in the near future to redo our barriers in front of enclosures and to create new picnic tables for our courtyard and campground. All of this woodwork is going to require a lot of screws. We need a 25 lbs box of 3" deck screws for all our carpentry work.
Our sanctuary is surrounded by forest, so fire is always a threat throughout the year. One of the best ways to protect our animals from the potential dangers of fire is to keep our forest clean and clear of debris. The best way to deal with tree trimming that can provide us different uses is to chip and shred all debris. This will provide mulch for our forest floor, plants, and shrubbery as well as provide comfortable walkways throughout the sanctuary. The BC600XL Brush Chipper is a great option for us.
As we continue to work on our garden, we are realizing how few tools we actually have! Right now, we could use the ultimate basics in gardening tools: a trowel, dandelion weeder, cultivator, etc. Since gardening is usually a group project, we could use several of the same tools.
With spring and summer here, we are starting plans to spruce up our courtyard and patio. Instead of listing all of the supplies we would need, we are asking for gift certificates from Santa Fe Greenhouses/High Country Gardens. With these certificates, we will be able to buy everything we need, from seeds, plants, tools, soil, and more. You can order them online at the url near the bottom. You are more than welcome to just place our mailing address for the "Shipping Address" on the form, or call them at (505) 473-2700.
Mosquitoes never use to be at the Sanctuary a few years ago. Wild Spirit was blissfully mosquito-free. Then, somehow, they appeared. They are everywhere! For the last three years, we have been plagued by mosquitoes each summer. Despite the general annoyance of the biting pests, they can cause heartworm in the wolves and wolf-dogs. It is time to take evasive action. We are hoping that a couple of the Liberty Mosquito Magnets would solve us of our bug problem. It not only attracts and kills mosquitoes, but also attracts no-see-ums. We could use your help to get rid of the mosquitoes!
Part of our goals at WSWS is to become as self-sufficient as possible. One way for us to accomplish this task is to be "off grid" and reduce energy costs. We would like to start by having all our staff and volunteer housing solar electric. There are many great resources on the Web for solar panels.
