Hey, crazy girl.
00:02
Oh, you're good to me.
00:03
I actually kept him in my house for a couple of weeks
00:06
when he first arrived here.
00:08
This nice cushion, and it's still fine, right?
00:11
I don't know if I need to panic or not yet.
00:13
Oh.
00:13
He wanted to be outside so badly.
00:15
He was busting every blind in my house.
00:20
Jacob came from an abusive breeder
00:22
and was extremely traumatized.
00:25
Everybody's excited to have Jacob home.
00:28
In case you're wondering where 90% of this mud came from,
00:32
it's this guy.
00:33
I have a pack of six rescued wolf dogs here at my sanctuary,
00:36
and it's beautiful chaos.
00:38
Oh, my gosh.
00:38
I don't know if you guys can still see my house.
00:43
I'm trying to take a cute video.
00:45
Once he was free in that acre, Jacob really
00:47
wanted nothing to do with me.
00:48
I'm going to see how close Jacob will let me get today.
00:52
Hey, Jacob.
00:53
Come here.
00:54
You want to come sniff me up?
00:55
You can come on your own terms.
00:57
It's OK.
00:57
However, Jacob loves my daughter, Ella.
01:00
All right, guys.
01:01
So Ella and I are going to go down and feed the wolf
01:03
dogs some treats.
01:05
This is just ridiculous.
01:06
I'm the one who does all the hard stuff
01:08
and raises them and keeps them alive,
01:09
and she gets all the love.
01:11
She was able to get Jacob to come right up to her.
01:17
He's extremely gentle with taking treats from her hand.
01:20
I'm good at reading their body language.
01:22
Because of this, I was able to be
01:23
comfortable with allowing Jacob to form
01:25
this relationship with Ella.
01:27
Jacob is slowly becoming more and more comfortable with me.
01:30
But he's still very suspicious.
01:35
I get a phone call from Molly, who runs Walking Wild Rescue
01:38
in Ohio, asking if I would be open to taking
01:42
in Jacob's brother, Varden.
01:44
This is Varden, Jacob's brother.
01:47
I mean, reuniting long-lost brothers?
01:49
How can I say no to that?
01:52
I brought Varden into a little secluded enclosure
01:54
within our wolf dog yard.
02:00
I really wasn't sure what to expect with reuniting
02:03
brothers after being apart.
02:05
It's a stressful time.
02:10
Jacob was at the side of that enclosure all night long.
02:15
He was actually very, very, very, very, very, very,
02:17
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
02:20
He was actually pawing at the enclosure
02:22
where Varden was laying against, which was amazing.
02:25
That was really cool to be able to see.
02:27
And then came the day to release Varden into the enclosure.
02:32
It went really well.
02:36
The Walking Wild Rescue did such a good job
02:39
at working with Varden.
02:41
Varden and Jacob were developing a really great relationship
02:45
very quickly.
02:47
A couple of weeks after Varden arrived,
02:49
Jacob actually took food from me through the fence
02:52
for the first time ever.
02:55
Varden is helping bring Jacob out of a shell even more.
02:59
Varden and Jacob are right there.
03:02
I feel honored that I was the one who was entrusted
03:04
with not only Jacob, but now his brother, Varden, too.
03:07
And it has been heartwarming to be
03:08
able to really watch their relationship develop,
03:11
even after spending over a year and a half apart.
03:13
It feels really good knowing that I
03:15
can play my part in giving wolf dogs a forever
03:17
safe place to live out the rest of their days.
