Spector came here with his mate Dusty after a long and complex life. Along with five other wolves, Spector and Dusty belonged to a family that was ripped apart by divorce. The husband, after losing his home to the divorce, decided to relocate the animals to a home in Canada, where they were cared for by a woman. The new caretaker lost her lease, and the seven wolves, along with thirteen other animals the woman was caring for, were located to Washington. Complications arose after an accident occurred, and several of the animals escaped. They were all captured except for one - Dusty, and she ran free for several weeks. The original owner contacted Leyton in assistance in capturing Dusty-, and Leyton offered phone consultation on capturing the lost wolf. After the incident, the original owner contacted Leyton and asked if Wild Spirit could take the animals, but we had no room. Leyton then decided to make arrangements to board the animals on his property, and the two drove to Washington to pick up Spector, Dusty, and the other five, leaving the other animals with the woman. The animals were put in enclosures on Leyton's property - four in one enclosure, three in the other. One month later, the female caretaker drove from Washington to New Mexico, onto Leyton's property, and poisoned the seven animals with antifreeze. Since Alpha wolves get to eat first, three of the animals ate the contaminated meat, leaving the other four without. The three Alphas died the next day, but Spector, Dusty, Bao, and Raina survived. Raina died later of cancer, and Bao was brought over to the Sanctuary to live with Juneau. Bao, unfortunately, died of old age shortly after being moved. Spector and Dusty remained, being the youngest of the seven, and are still alive and well. They were finally brought over to Wild Spirit and placed into one of our largest enclosures to receive a higher quality of care. |

Spector now lives at Wild Spirit with his mate Dusty, in a large half-acre enclosure. Unlike his mate Dusty, Spector is much more social and is quite curious. He loves to follow his caretaker around the enclosure and gets especially curious when they lean over his water bucket. Spector, although he does not like be touched, will take food out of a volunteer's hand if he is comfortable.
Spector is a mid-content wolf-dog. |
