Protect Wolves

Tuesday morning, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors took a closer look at the dog debate, with the owner, Shandale White defending her animals.

Watch report: Yolo County wolf ban prompts woman’s 7 dogs to be seized

“There was a complaint by a member of the public and then there was another member of the public that sent us the Craigslist advertisement for the wolf hybrids,” said Yolo County spokeswoman Beth Gabor.

White said she’s had some of her dogs as far back as 2007, but it wasn’t until about a year ago when she moved to her new home in Esparto that the problem started.

Last month, animal services came to her home to seize eight of her dogs, believed to be wolf hybrids.

The wolf-hybrid ordinance that bans the animals in the county dates back to 2007.

Gabor said the animals were presented as hybrids in a Craigslist advertisement and DNA testing confirmed one dog was indeed part wolf.

White said she got her dogs from shelters and breeders, and they were all husky, shepherd, and malamute mixes — but not part wolf.

Riya, a husky-German shepherd mix, did get released, but White is fighting to get the rest of dogs back.

“They’re like kids to me,” White said. “I’m going to do everything I can. I’ll do anything in my power to get my babies back; they’re my family.”

For now, the dogs are being held at Yolo County Animal Services before heading to rescue centers.
