Zari

History

Zari and her male companion lived in Arizona with their caring owner. Unfortunately, the owner passed away and a friend of his began looking for somewhere for the animals to go. The male wolf-dog was ill, so it was decided the best course of action for him would to be euthanized. Zari was brought to the Sanctuary to be a companion for Junior.

How Can I Help Zari?

Animal Sponsorships

It takes fifteen sponsors to provide the basic care for each of our wolves and wolf-dogs for an entire year. This does not include the cost of medication, vet visits, enclosures repairs, or enrichment treats.

Quarterly Enrichment
Every three months we give each of our animals an exciting enrichment treat. Not only does it help to mentally and physically stimulate the wolves and wolf-dogs, but it also goes to support them for the rest of the quarter.

Profile

Bio: Zari is a mid-content wolf-dog.
Living Arrangements: Zari lives with another mid-content wolf-dog, Junior.
Am I On the Tour Path? "No, I live at the back of the Sanctuary. However, if you are a sponsor of mine and would like to say hello, ask someone in the office if you can come up for a visit."
Personality: Zari is a very sweet girl who is mostly calm and very relaxed, unless there are gloves or food around! She sometimes has a sudden rush of energy and runs circles around her enclosure. Zari and Junior's relationship had a rocky start, but now the two are good buddies.
Likes: Receiving ear rubs, belly rubs, and having her face cupped between her caretaker's hands for cheek rubs.
Dislikes: Junior getting possessive over joint attention from their caretaker, Junior stealing her toys, and Junior trying to take her food.
Fun Fact: Zari has a very particular morning routine that she follows exactly. She runs to the gate to greet her caretaker, then follows a path around the trees in her enclosure, receives some attention, and then walks or runs the exact same path around her enclosure!
My Wishlist: "Junior is always taking up space in our wooden house. I would love to have my own space to sleep in and my own straw to throw around!"
