She immediately called Folsom City Animal Services to get the wolf’s help. When rescuers arrived, they took a closer look at the animal and discovered that it was actually a young coyote with a frightening case.

They immediately took the wolf back to their clinic, where it was treated for sore throats and dehydration. They decided to name her Princess and eventually transferred her to Wildlife Rescue in Gold Country where she will receive further treatment.

The lifeguards refused to give up on her, and after struggling for a while, she got on. She reused the litter box and ate regularly when she was given a medicated bath by her caregiver.

Once Princess has recovered from her illness, she can return to the wild. The animal shelter placed her in Sierra Wildlife Rescue, where she was able to interact with another wolf while recovering from a recent illness.
