Reconnecting people to animals opens up a space for healing

Shy Wolf partners with organizations like Youth Haven through our Healing Hearts program. Because our animals come to us from abused, abandoned and neglected situations, a healing connection is made with humans who have had similar experiences in their lives.

As a part of the program, age-appropriate projects are assigned to help process the experience. In our partnership with Youth Haven, the children send postcards to the animals they identify with and share their thoughts.
