Love how clearly she states this was a group effort, highlighting each of her team members strengths. This organization oozes good work environment. It's tough work and it's amazing to see them push through and thrive--sooo happy for Awa and I can't wait to 'get to know' Akela through the cams
Yes!!! Definitely. Also this is such a nice comment!
Yep, knowing their strenghts is one thing but also acknowledging it indicates great leadership and honest appreciaton.
Reporting in from the first night - Akela and Awa have howled together ❤ there are adorable clips on the Alveus twitch channel

My heart! 😭
I'm actually sobbing at that. I'm so happy introducing them went so well.
oh my gosh that's so exciting!!
Can you link the clip? I can only find the old clips of timber and awa 😭😭
also a rain system for georgie is SO COOL
Lukas' work on that tank is INSANE!! So much effort and talent put into taking care of these animals, honestly so much respect for everyone working at alveus!
IM SO HAPPY FOR AWA and EVERYONE!! 😭💚🖤
Ohhh, he handsome!!
Congrats on the new wolfdog, his life is about to be 1000x more enriched lol. Thankful for the people in his life that acknowledged he needed more though. I can't imagine being that isolated for 2 years. I hope the integration with him and Awa goes smoothly, and I hope she enjoys her new friend!
Alveus has definitely lucked out with their incredible staff 🥺
I know everyone at alveus said they were moving quick to rescue another wolffog, but this was insanely fast and I'm so happy for the team and awa!
Teared up hearing about Akela being alone for so long 😭 so happy y’all were able to get Awa a companion so quickly!
Love that you guys got an invert expert! I love that Maya takes entomology so seriously. I think that's what sets her apart from a lot of other animal conservationists who only really focus charismatic megafauna
who's the new invert expert? i would thoroughly enjoy any invertebrate content! maya's bug appreciation can now become a conservation goal~
@@alveolatei think she said that Lukas (the one who made Georgie's new tank and made the new table) is the habitat specialist and invert lead! So I'm assuming he's gonna be in charge of all the guys in tanks
If you're not already watching the Wednesday night bug chats then you'd love it! m.th-cam.com/play/PLtQafKoimfLdK_4hSdwKqLOSPlIGuSmqk.html
Glad awa was happy and wagging her tail seeing a new friend. I hope they get along well and have a long friendship
Happy Birthday Akela and congrats on your new home! Great job Maya and the rest of the staff for rescuing this handsome boy!
man, he's one handsome fella. can really see the german shepherd in him. can't wait to see him put on some weight and get to hang out with awa!
also, that frog enclosure is incredible
AKELA means alone or single in hindi (Indian language), so the story of him actually being alone for 2 years made me really sad. Hope the best for him and the sanctuary!
Welcome Akela! 100% good boy
1:08:22 I'm crying. Timber was such a good boy.
ive heard the "there arent many facilities like this" spiel more times than i can count and i LOCK IN every time anyway. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL AND WHAT YOU DO FOR THESE ANIMALS
He is Gorgeous. Glad he found a forever home with you guys
Yay this is amazing news, congrats to the Alveus team! I hope Awa and Akela eventually socialize well and become bonded.
Im crying that rock was so precious.
We're lucky to have Peach in Alveus' life... 🥺🥹
My heart 🥹. What a wonderful thing for both animals. He'll be in the best place possible. ❤
I think we'll always miss Timber, but I'm glad that Awa will get to have a new companion now (once he's fixed). He seems to be doing relatively well for his first day, too... nervous pacing, but other than that, seems pretty normal. I'm excited to see what his personality is like once he settles in more.
It baffles my mind that people breed wolf dogs ON PURPOSE. I know people love wolves but you really don’t want (or need) the characteristics of a wolf in your house just because you like the ✨aesthetics✨. I’m a vet tech and have seen at least 3 wolf dogs in my career that were privately owned in PA Philly suburbs and every single one had zero training, 2/3 had a bite history and owners had zero control of them. (Granted I know it’s a vet setting vs home setting but still)
I’m sure there are great owners that take the time to learn the “breed” and work with them closely but they really should only be in rescue or refuge etc. with professionals. Even if you do everything right they still deserve the correct environment. It’s unfair to them they just want to be in the wild 😩
ANYWAYS I’m so happy for you guys and your new addition!! Thank you and praise the entire Alveus sanctuary for everything y’all do!!! 💜💜
Yea, when Maya said just that network they were in contract with knew it 400, that overwhelmed me and I shed tears... I hate how we are as a society in the US, when it comes to animals. 😮💨
I grew up in MN and we moved to TN in 09 (in my mid 20s). Just over a month after we got here, a few month old Husky wandered in from the woods to our property where we were camping and building or house. We tried to find her family and had a flyer at the local very, but came up short, so it became obvious she was abandoned.
As such, we kept her. I have no idea why she would've been abandoned, either, because over the next nearly 16 years she was nothing but the absolute best dog! I hate that folks down here - but also all over, I just never experienced it in MN - are so willing to discard animals. We had a lab, and despite some early defensive actions initially when he would go near her food, she integrated perfectly with him. She was house trained... So yea 🤷♂️
She was nothing but a lover and it went both ways. Had to say goodbye to her just shortly after Timber's departure, but those were the best 15-3/4 years.
But yea, a year after another dog wandered in, Sam, and we still have him. We've seen numerous cats come through as well. We're in a semi-rural area, so it's not like a neighborhood where animals roam around, and there's coyotes all over.... They're all clearly abandoned, and it's sickening 😢_(except Sam, his owner lives near but their other dogs would ditch him over here, and we said it's better to just live with us)_
[/somber ramble]
I’m curious, what size enclosure did he come from?
He’s a handsome wolf dog. Hopefully it’s a smooth transition and he adapts well to his new life.
It’s so wonderful being able to look into such a beautiful window of humanity. I need this so much right now.
wow that was QUICK! huge congrats and cant wait to see how he settles in :))
This was the perfect background video while I sat on my computer editing a video for the past 8 hours. Well, it got me through my first 2 hours at least.
Oh my godd, I'm so happy Awa has a new friend now, amazing job from the alveus team as alwayss. Can't wait to see Akela thrive there
Akela is a week younger than my dog, Apollo! Happy birthday, bud! congratulations on your new home and your new bestie!!!
1:07:09 great, now I’m fkin crying. we’ll love you always, Timber ❤️
So happy you guys were able to find him and bring him to his new forever home💕💕💕
What a beautiful animal. Can't wait to see him and Awa brought together.
Happy birthday Akela! Amazing work from everyone involved.
The wolfdog lore has been crazy to follow
So pleased you’ve all been able to achieve this❤
Hooray! Welcome Akela to Alveus Sanctuary.
Akela pronounced Uh-Kay-Lah means alone in Hindi language. Fitting name for a Lone wolf.
that's some camera quality right there
Incredible is an understatement. H is for Hawk was a good read btw.. Looking forward to the future, as always.🔥
welcome, akela!
YESSS NEW WOLF DOG
wooo!!! hope they get along well
what a beautiful shot at the beginning, such a gorgeous scenery
Who else watching Akela on the live cams right now
it makes me so happy to see how much effort and pure love Alveus puts into saving and nurturing these animals. i love the work that you guys do, and i dont think there is a better place for any of these animals to be. 💖💖💖
Maya! Your carhartt jacket is the coolest one I've ever seen! Jelly.
yall are always so committed to doing it right and it’s so amazing
they haven't even met yet, but i'm immediately compelled by Awa and Akela's potential dynamic. the roguish loner and the stately, aloof old lady... I hope they become the best of friends!
Awa, a Wolfdog, _but also_ a cougar... 😅
Great job team :) and that new tank for Georgie is SICK
It's kinda crazy and ironic that he was already namned Akela and ended up living alone for two years. I cheeked the wikipedia page for Akela from the Jungle Book and it says there that Akela actually means single or solitary in Hindi. In the Jungle Book the character Akela is apperantly also known as The Lone Wolf.
What a distinguished gentleman!!
Akela is so handsome and it is nice to see him interacting with Awa alveusLove
Yay! Welcome Akela!❤🎉
That pink carhartt jacket is super dope Maya! 💪🏽 🔥
Agree!!!
56:25 hey I take those meds too!!! good stuff
love his tail
Lets go! ❤
He gets a friend & Awa gets a friend again 😊
A new baby 🎉🎉🎉
This reminds me of when two of my sugar gliders passed away within days of each other and I was left with one. When I adopted two joeies, he was so happy to have friends after being alone for a little over a month.
Welcome Akela!
Welcome to Alveus, Akela!
my cat is sat watching this
Anyone know what kind of concrete Lukas used to create Georgie's new habitat? I've build some concrete fish ponds using normal quickcrete, but they take weeks to fill, sit and drain and fill again to remove residual chemicals before fish can be added. If there is another method/material to ensure that the quicklime doesn't leech into the water and kill everything, I really want to know because I lose an entire summer soaking the pond to make it fit for critters.
I have no experience creating pond/tank setups myself, but i do like watching them on youtube. I imagine Lukas used something similar to the Buddy Rhodes concrete mix SerpaDesign used in this video here: th-cam.com/video/mkOoOqMc7zU/w-d-xo.html (coincidentally also for an African bullfrog enclosure) . It seems like it's primarily used for walls tho, not ponds (SerpaDesign has separate videos for pond-building, like this one: th-cam.com/video/P3d7DeNmiko/w-d-xo.html). I hope this info helps! Good luck!
@@emilyherrold6922 thank you!
They are so interested in eachother i love to see it! Friends! ♥
How i wish this was an old video so I can see how the beauties are doing now
Omg yes amazing news 😭💛 I'm so happy you could find Awa a new companion so soon
What was his old enclosure like?
I know it’s been mentioned a few times how it’s bad for an animal like a wolf dog to be alone and how it effects their wellbeing, I was wondering if you can go into more detail as to the effects something like that would have on an animal like this and if this is something we might see in the future with Akela and his personality?
AWOO!! 😊
Absolutely huge information incredible development
This makes me so happy ahhhhhhh
This was such a soothing video to watch. Having Akela just behave and Maya talk in between really calmed me down. Also, does anyone know if they considered a full non-releasable wolf as a companion? Maybe they didn't need to because there is such a big need for wolf dogs (400 a year needing rescue is such a big number, and that's just one organisation!) or maybe it's just about compatibility with Awa? I'd imagine there's some difference in behaviour, but I also think I might remember that the enclosure was built also with full wolves in mind.
Wahoo! 🥳
I'd say Texans when it's under 20C look like Fins when it's -20C, but I know a couple fins who'd still be running around in a T-shirt at -20C.
I miss seeing chat ):
Yayayaya🎉🎉🎉
So adorable! But also neeed to know where maya got this jacket
The brand is Carhartt
I can't even fathom where one would begin to plan transporting an animal that cannot be handled directly and that you aren't familiar with for over ten hours through multiple states, including storing, sedating, feeding and watering them, even after finding them, which I also wouldn't know how to start.
wait did it happen just this weekend? omg I hope they get along well!!
He just got here this morning! This vid went up super fast. Come watch him on the livestream : )
@@Kiki-reads yeah hopped on the stream immediately
YAYYYY
"Akela" from Hindi, meaning "alone" Not any more !!!! 🐺🐺
Blessings 🎉
I love this so much!
YAYYY !!
WE LOVE AKELA AND AWA! ❤
He seems like such a good boy! I hope he gains some weight quickly so we can get him out of the cramped switch pin.
That little pup at 1:18:18 looks just like my dog what the hecc
I clicked SO FAST. 🎉
Yaaaaaay!!!!!!!
NO WAY YAYYAYAAYAYAYAYAYA
BIRTHDAYY
i loooove maya's jacket - does anyone know where it's from? if she said it, i missed it!
Handsome boy
Maya sold herself short at 55:19 because she's an expert in Stompy behavior 😊
This might be a weird question, but was Akela purchased by or surrendered to Alveus?
New friend!!
Hes beautiful,I finished reading H is for hawk
The book club stream has been postponed to November 4th according to the schedule on their website
Can someone tell me what happened to timber?
would it be worth to give him a gastropexy when he gets neutered to avoid bloat in the future?
YAYYYY OMG IM SO SAD I MISSED THIS STREAM
Awesome
I was here!!
