``To look into the eyes of a wolf is to see your own soul`` - Aldo Leopold
Old Dog, New Tricks.
Our own Joe Gold made us aware of Apex’s mission, and how their impact was diminished not only due to the tracking and paperwork associated with any non-profit, but also with the care and management of live animals. Detailed tracking was needed to specify each animal’s diet, medications, exercise schedule, etc. Unlike many non-profits, Apex is also a 24-hour operation, with a lot of coordination and handoff between various volunteers. A volunteer may come in to work and immediately need to be updated on an injury or change in a wolf’s condition or dietary requirements.
Our Pack Helping Theirs.
A Pawsitive Impact.
The past few years under the cloud of covid-19 have made running any business more difficult. Smaller budgets, higher inflation, and fewer in-person events have caused many non-profits to struggle more than usual. Apex has experienced many of these challenges and others. At Angel City Data, we decided further help was ours to give. We decided on a three-pronged approach to assist Apex:
Donations.
Amazon Smile.
Our voices.
Throw Them a Bone.
In 2022, the staff at ACD plans to do go on a field trip to Apex, where we can engage in a “Meet the pack” experience between our team and the wolves. We look forward to sharing pictures and memories from this experience with our many friends here. We ask that any of you that can, please consider a monthly contribution through Apex’s “Adopt a Wolfdog” program, or other forms of gifting on their site:
Have a Happy Howlidays.
We hope 2021 finishes happy, healthy and successfully for all of our clients, staff, vendors, partners, and families. And remember, if you happen to be driving through the back roads of Acton and hear wolves howling in the distance, don’t worry. It’s a good thing.
Happy Howlidays!
