I WASN’T HUNTING IN YOUR YARD.
I WAS TOO SICK TO STAY HIDDEN.

You saw me in daylight.

Near the fence.
Near the trash cans.
Near the edge of the road where healthy wild things are supposed to know better.

Maybe you thought I was bold.

Maybe you thought I was dangerous.
Maybe you thought I was rabid.
Maybe you thought I had come closer because I had stopped being wild.

But I had not stopped being wild.

I had stopped being well.

I am a coyote.

I was built for distance.
For caution.
For moonlight.
For the quiet work of moving unseen.

But mange does not leave much dignity behind.

First it took my sleep.
Then it took my fur.
Then it took the warmth my body was meant to keep.
Then it took my strength.

Every itch became pain.
Every night became colder.
Every hunt became harder.
And little by little, fear stopped working the way it should.

So you saw me where you were never meant to see me.

In daylight.
Near houses.
Near people.

Not because I wanted you.
Because sickness had already taken too much from me.

Please do not try to touch me.
Do not try to feed me by hand.
Do not try to treat me yourself.
Do not let dogs chase me or confront me.

Keep children and pets away.
Take a photo or video from a safe distance if you can.
Note the exact location.
Then call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, animal control, or your state wildlife agency for guidance.

Because I was not hunting your yard.

I was losing a battle under my skin
and running out of places
where pain could stay hidden.

Friday night (thanks to a licensed rehabber) Wes got the help he needed so badly! Along with a good dinner… we can’t wait to watch this beautiful boy heal and transform into his natural beauty.

These achievements can’t be done without dedicated volunteers, licensed rehabbers and funds. Thank you to our supporters!

Color video of Wes two days ago. Look how he has absolutely no fur. Nights are still cold and feel for this amazing boy.

So excited to share… that right on schedule Wes made an appearance and ate his dinner. He calmly got a good drink of fresh water (thanks to our amazing volunteer who visits the site daily) and then he simply went on his way.
That’s two dinners in a row! I bet he feels better today than he has in a long time.
Updates to come!

Last night, after Wes already got a small lunch earlier in the day at his feeding station, he came BACK!
This was progress. He is coming back to check the station to see if it has been refilled - which it had thanks to a wonderful, committed volunteer! Wes enjoyed a large dinner last night with the hopes he will come tonight as well.
At the very least- we are thrilled he is getting nutrients.

Guess who showed up yesterday- mid day!
Following a beautifully healthy coyote, Wes made his way to the feeding station scaring her off. She had not yet finished the bait so Wes got half a lunch yesterday, mid day- allowing us color video of how bad his skin is.
You can almost feel how desperate he is for the food. And a fresh drink of water.

Meet Wes. Another mange coyote located in the same area as Juniper! He has been a tricky one to find but this was April 26 at his feeding station. His first visit where a healthy coyote had already come and taken the fresh bait.
This video shows how horribly sick he is.
We suspect someone in this area is using rat poison for rodents which is why the local wildlife have been showing up with mange. It’s not just coyotes… we have had 2 sick bobcats here too.
Please spread the word not to use poison! Our wildlife can not handle it!
Owl boxes, snap traps, live traps… anything else!

On our mission to find yet another coyote with mange - we spotted a beautiful, healthy bobcat coming out of an afternoon nap.
Enjoy her beauty!

Update on Miss Courageous!!
Look at that beautiful coat coming in! No more mange for this beauty!! Yes we know she has an inured leg but coyotes adjust in the wild to accommodate their injuries. Now that she isn’t suffering from mange she can focus on surviving in a world that can be cruel to her kind.
Keep her in your thoughts!! So thankful we got the opportunity to help her!

**her feeding station has been removed but she was just checking to be sure that it is in fact still empty* LOL

Our home camera caught our resident coyotes in the front yard early this AM playing. People forget the coyotes, while different from dogs, are still in the Canidae family. They can be just as playful with each other as a couple of domesticated puppies… and it is just as cute (from a distance).
We live here on acreage with our pets and do our best to coexist with the coyote pack who visits almost nightly for water from the backyard lake and / or ponds.
We take the precautions to keep our pets safe and the coyotes seem to understand that once the sun is up we need them to move on for the day while our animals are out. It’s a somewhat non-verbal pact that we have lived by for years.
Please understand it is important for our ecosystem for us to coexist. They are only trying to survive in a constantly changing environment.
