Malo's Story

Malo was a very energetic pack member. At the owner’s dying request, a hospice worker agreed to adopt him. Though well-loved, Malo challenged the neighborhood with his howling and escapades. After Malo escaped to chase a few chickens and threats came in from the local community, the owners feared for his safety and found Wolf Connection. When he first arrived, Malo assisted with the training of new volunteers since he liked to block them from leaving his kennel. Because his previous owner had encouraged him to wrestle, it was a challenge to sufficiently ignore his poor behavior so he would lose interest and they could easily exit the kennel. Ultimately, Malo taught about wanting to “connect” and the opportunity to explore the ways in which one might choose to express that connection. Learning balance with connection and boundaries was a great place to start.
