NEW! A Vist with Rawsome Pets and More
Angela and her wonderful family from Rawsome foods visited
Refuge Ridge to show how to provide the perfect food
combinations for our wolfers nutritional needs. Each ingredient
was analyzed as to why it is beneficial and what purpose it serves.
Our wolfers and dogs love their new enhanced diet. The pictures
below show Becky and Angela working with volunteers to prepare
the plates and the resulting food served.

Fun with Fruits!
Our critters love to play and love to eat! It has
become an annual tradition to provide watermelons
to them in the Spring and pumpkins in the Fall.
They have a fun day and get a little extra nutrition!
