Dislikes: When his poodle sibling jumps on his face.
Interesting Fact: Baloo is very scared of lightning and thunder. When there is any hint of a storm at all, he squeezes through the cat door and hides in the cat room so they can protect him.

BILLINGS, Mont. — Government agencies are seeking broad new authority to ramp up killings and removals of gray wolves in the Northern Rockies and Great Lakes, despite two recent court actions that restored the animal’s endangered status in every state except Alaska and Minnesota.

Breed: Meeko has been thought to be anything from an Australian cattle dog to an Akita. Her owners simply tell people that she’s a wolfdog.

Likes: Her Abuelita, belly rubs, hunky German shepherds, and Radiohead.
Dislikes: She likes everyone and everything!
Interesting Fact: Meeko was pregnant and scheduled to be put down in a Virginia shelter within a week when Cattitude, a rescue shelter in New Jersey, saved her and her five unborn puppies. They are now all in happy homes!
