A Howl from Our Heart

Each month this year, we are donating a portion of our proceeds to different charities. In January, we Rivers Edge Horse Sanctuary. It's a wonderful place that has been under a lot of stress due to flooding and storms.



In February, we were sharing with Lakota Wolf Preserve. What an amazing place this is. Jim and Becky care for all the wolves and animals with respect, love, and appreciation. The enclosures are well maintained and spacious for the packs and foxes and other animals. If you want to learn about wolves, their habits and environments, this is the place to go. You can just feel the affinity they all have for each other.

We were going to switch in March, but we decided to stay with Lakota for another month. This winter has been particularly brutal with the freezing cold weather. They haven't been able to have the tours they usually do, which is their form of income. Becky has also found out that she has colon cancer. They are the only two that maintain the preserve, so it's become a particularly difficult time for them. That's why we decided to extend our month of giving through March.

How can you help? Well you can certainly go to their website and make a donation. You can also comment, like, share and order from Celtic Chairde! Whether it's here on our blog, or our Facebook or Twitter page, every interaction will help add to the kitty for the wolves. 

March may have come in like a lion, and we may be hoping that it goes our like a lamb, but let's make sure it goes to the wolves at Lakota Wolf Preserve.

The Month of the Wolf

October brings in a season of mystery. A wayward chill breeze that stirs the leaves. Nights seem darker, even when there are stars. And there's the call of the wolf from a distant hill.

Of course, you could be by The Lakota Wolf Preserve. This is an amazing facility in Warren county, where you can get a close look at these beautiful animals as they run and play in their packs. Jim and Becky, run the preserve with a love, passion and dedication that's inspiring.

There are two tours each day (except on Monday, when they are closed). Reservations for weekdays are recommended. The wolf watches take about 1 1/2 hours. Tucked up in the mountain, it's a bit of a hike, but they do have a shuttle that can make the trip easier. It's a beautiful area, and you learn so much about these lovely animals. You're close to the wolves, and get a great view. Maybe they'll even give you a good howl.

For the month of October, we will be donating a portion of all proceeds to this wonderful education preserve. We'll also donate for every new like on our Facebook page, and each share of a post and share of our newsletter. There's no mystery - we're just helping a truly great place.
