The staff decided that he needed what heals and helps us all: a little love.

After introducing him to several female wolves, kind of like wolf dating, they brought him to Tenali, an outgoing female wolf-dog. She’s a 3-year-old rescue from Wisconsin.
Wolf-dogs are actually quite common across the country, and many are in need.

Tenali is known for her sweetness, and she’s very energetic. Castiel was even a bit overwhelmed at first!
But Tenali didn’t mind. She just took a mini dip in a water bucket to keep herself occupied.

Michelle Proulx, director of animal care at W.O.L.F, said that while initially shy, Castiel began to warm up to Tenali.
“After a couple of days, he started to realize that she wasn’t going to hurt him,” she says, and notes that the pair has been playing and spending more and more time together.

“He went from not having much and being alone for who knows how long to having this girl,” Proulx says.
Just like humans, it took the right individual to open Castiel’s heart and warm up, and also helped him heal from his traumatic past.
You can keep up with the pair’s adventures on W.O.L.F.’s website, where you can also donate to help keep wolf-dogs safe and happy.

Now, their bond is getting stronger and stronger every day — and Castiel seems happier and healthier than ever.
