In reply to Gayle. He was very interested in her. They were both wanting to be together. Yukon was not showing any signs of aggression, only 'dominance' body language, so we were very hopeful. Unfortunately, we think the problem may be the fact that Timber refused to be submissive. For the relationship to work out she would need to allow him to be Alpha. We are all just praying she survives the ordeal.

Only one can be the highest ranked. There are no equals in a wolf pack or a dog pack for that matter. In the wild this part of how that gets decided. The male is always more dominant than any female. With a different introduction and giving a lot more time to know each other and for him to begin to be interested in her the outcome may have been very differeent

Though my cat is much smaller the event is similar. She was born wild, surviving on her own but showed up at my door a couple years ago. Her throat had been grabbed and gnashed wide open by something . I managed to get her to the vet who performed surgery. Three years later she cannot meow but has sweet squeak sound and is now an indoor cat here ! Sure do hope the results will be the same for Timber.
