Keehta, a Wolfdog of unknown parentage, was probably born in the Spring of 2004.  We rescued her from a wildlife shelter in December 2005. In her short life, she had already had five homes (a common and sad fact of life for many wolfdogs - read why we are against the breeding and sale of wolfdogs as pets... below). Although very fearful of us at first, she soon adapted to her new home and packmates, and it sure didn't take her long to learn how to "wolf down" her food! She still never sits still for the camera, though! It's hard to take pictures of her...

Keehta spent almost two years living at our Wolf Education Centre at Panorama Mountain Village, and as of November 2007, she is in her new home here in Golden, at the Northern Lights Wolf Centre. Keehta will continue helping us teach people about wolves.  She is shy and gentle, playful and content. Her legs are shorter than a wolf; she is somewhat stocky and weighs about 65 lb (about 30 kg).
