A coyote runs across state Route 3 outside of Tupper Lake, N.Y., in the Adirondacks, Sept. 20, 2010. Advocates think wolves are hunting and howling in the Northeast woods, more than a century after they were shot, trapped and poisoned into eradication across the region. Complicating the question is the fact that wolves can not only appear similar to eastern coyotes, but that they typically share genetic material.

Chief Chief has the saddest eyes that will melt your heart. Chief is 4 1/2 years old and was previously at a high kill shelter in New York City. He was adopted by someone local to Utica, but unfortunately, their landlord would not allow them to keep Chief, and that’s how he ended up at the shelter. He has already been at the shelter for 10 months and he hates being there. Chief is definitely safe there, but he deserves a loving home to call his own. He has been bounced around and he has gone through a lot. His eyes tell a story. Chief is a big boy, but he is a lovable sweetheart. He loves people and the staff adores him. He has been able to play nicely with some dogs at the shelter, but in reading about his past it seems as though he may not want to share a living space with another dog. Chief will need a home with no cats. Let’s find Chief his forever home. He is neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $120. Stop in to meet Chief today. Apply here to adopt: www.anitas-sshs.org/adopt/apply/Dog. Anita’s Stevens-Swan Humane Society, 5664 Horatio St., Utica, 315-738-4357, www.anitas-sshs.org.
