As he recovered, W.O.L.F. held a naming contest for him, and the winning name was “Castiel.”
The name is a reference to a character on the show Supernatural, who is an angel of resurrection.
It was inspired by Castiel’s remarkable transformation into a physically healthy, and adorable, wolf-dog.

His fur grew back, his infections cleared up, and he put on lots of weight.

He already looks like a different animal!
It was time for him to go into the sanctuary proper, and meet his new friends.

Because he’d been alone, and possibly neglected or abused before that, Castiel was very, very shy, and didn’t know how to really form connections with other wolves and wolf-dogs.
And obviously, that pack connection is very important when you’re a wolf.

But in the meantime, he was enjoying the outdoors.
W.O.L.F. staff also said he was growing increasingly interested in the other animals. While he wasn’t yet approaching them, his interest was a good sign that he could be social.
