It's sad to know that there are so many wolves and wolfdogs in captivity, and most of them end up in sanctuaries (which luckily exist) because the vast majority of people who get them simply don't have what it takes to keep them (even somewhat) properly.
Oh same! When I was young of course it’s a wonderful fantasy to have a wolf as a loyal pet but the reality is so much different. Im sure some select few could provide an enriching and good home for a wolf dog but my god the sacrifice and commitment is something else.
Yeah honestly I feel like a lot of folks aren't even prepared when they adopt dogs. My friend got a corgi because Cute but I don't think she really understood what she was getting into.
I'm in a wolfdog group on Facebook and man, there's so many people there who should not even own regular dogs.
