It’s Imposumable not to love them!

This sweatshirt feels like a quiet, familiar hug. A row of playful opossum sketches peeks across the chest, each one caught mid-scamper or mischief — curious noses, fluffed tails, tiny paws. It’s the sort of piece you reach for when you want warmth without fuss: roomy, soft, and made to last. Th...

For most of Wolf Run’s more than 40 years in the rescue world, we’ve been powered almost entirely by volunteers.

But as Wolf Run has grown, so has the work. With everyone juggling jobs, families, and busy lives of their own, we realized it was time to bring someone on board to help keep all those paws, hooves, feathers, and humans moving in the right direction!

We were fortunate to have so many impressive applicants, but one truly stood out.

Please join us in giving a BIG Wolf Run welcome to Mrs. Sarah Faircloth, the newest member of our team!

Sarah comes to us with a pretty interesting mix of talents. She’s a chef, an animal lover, and a serious plant enthusiast, so she already understands three important things: how to feed hungry creatures, how to nurture living things, and how to handle a little chaos!

Sarah and her family live in Lancaster, Kentucky, just minutes from the refuge. She has a family of her own, plenty of fur children, and now she’s gained an even bigger, considerably hairier family at Wolf Run.

From the beginning, Sarah just felt like she belonged here. She’s warm, down-to-earth, eager to jump in, and genuinely excited about the animals and the work we do.

There will be mud. There will be fur. There will be long days, dirty clothes, very opinionated animals, and probably a few plants around here that Sarah will immediately decide need rescuing too.

We couldn’t be happier to have her with us.

Welcome to the pack, Sarah!

Today at Wolf Run, we were surrounded by something much bigger than volunteers helping with chores.

We were surrounded by love.

The men from Solid Foundation Recovery came out to lend a hand today, and I’m struggling to find words big enough for what these guys brought with them.

Yes, they worked. They worked HARD. In 95-degree heat, when the rest of us felt like we were melting into the ground, they kept going. Habitats were cleaned, chores were finished, things that desperately needed doing got done, and somehow, through all of it, they kept smiling.

But what touched me most wasn’t the work.

It was watching these men with our animals.

Every one of them is fighting his own battle. Every one has a story that brought him to Solid Foundation. And yet today, there was such gratitude in them just for the opportunity to be here. They gave love to our animals, and our animals gave it right back.

There were moments today when I looked around and realized that something pretty extraordinary was happening.

People who are healing were helping animals who have needed healing, too.

Maybe that is why they understand each other so well.

My dear friend Shawn, CEO and founder of Solid Foundation Recovery, made this partnership possible, and I truly don’t know where Wolf Run would be without him and these men. They don’t just show up when it’s convenient. They show up when it’s hot, when the work is dirty, when we’re overwhelmed, and when we need them most.

And they work with grateful hearts.

Before they left today, I shook every hand. I hugged as many of them as I could. But I still don’t think they could possibly understand how much their presence here means to me and to Wolf Run.

So, to every man from Solid Foundation who spent part of his day sweating alongside us today:

Thank you.

Thank you for your hands.
Thank you for your smiles.
Thank you for your kindness.
Thank you for loving our animals.
Thank you for showing up.
And thank you for reminding us that sometimes the ones who come to help carry our load end up leaving a piece of their hearts behind.

You are not just “the guys who come help at Wolf Run.”

You are part of our Wolf Run family.

I wish every single one of you strength, peace, healing, and a future filled with all the good things you are working so hard toward.

Today you came here to help us.

But I hope you know that you gave us far more than a day’s work.

You gave us a day we won’t forget.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mary Kindred

We got a new wolf hybrid in! She was confiscated for cruelty to animals. Her life has been so bad. She’s eight years old now so we have a lot of
lost time to make up for! A special thank you to the ladies at Franklin County KY Humane Society who showed this precious girl that not all humans are scary!
