Magpie, nicknamed Maggie, is our lead Ambassador Wolf. She was one of two females born in April 2002 in South Carolina to British Colombian and Arctic wolf parents. Although her two brothers were recruited for a movie project, Magpie and her sister Raven were not used by the trainer and were in need of a home.

At only 4 months of age Maggie and Raven arrived at Mission: Wolf and were instantly the stars of the refuge. Rami, our elder and most outgoing wolf, eagerly adopted the two, and gave them a boost of confidence. Earlier in the year Rami had adopted a wolf-dog pup named Luna who immediately dominated the two new pups. Before Luna knew it she soon found herself in the middle of two big, black pups that were nearly twice her size, though she managed to hold her own for a few more years. That fall the four climbed onto the wolf bus to travel the country with the ambassador wolf program. On tour, Raven was the clown who loved being the center of attention. Maggie was more timid and seemed untrusting of the outside world, yet once she got in front of an audience she soaked up the attention and happily greeted everyone.

In 2014 Magpie was officially retired from our traveling ambassador program. While she still loves to greet and educate new people about wolves and wolf-dogs she is now enjoying a not-so-quiet retirement as the main ambassador at the refuge with her partners in crime Abraham and Zeab.
