Don’t let those sad-looking eyes fool you … Axle is a playful and affectionate neutered male. The shelter temperament testers describe this pit mix as a “total sweetheart.”
 
He would love a family that appreciates big, sloppy dog kisses.

The Wildlife Center Says Thank You Los Alamos!

by

The staff and critters at The Wildlife Center would like to send a giant thank you to everyone who has continued to supply us with fresh fruit tree branches and apples and pears to sustain the four mule deer fawns and elk calf in care. We greatly rely on these contributions to provide these little ones with natural forage. The current target release date for these animals is the first part of November. Please spread the word and keep these goodies coming. We also have a young porcupine in care and are in need of chewing logs for her. Thank you for your efforts from TWC.
