- Wild Dogs are Namibia's most endangered mammal species and continue to be widely persecuted
- Only an estimated 250 wild dogs remain in the wild in Namibia
- Only 5% of their range is within protected areas in Namibia
Naankuse became custodian for 14 Wild Dog pups in mid June. Rudie received a call to say the pups had been removed from a den in the Mangetti strip of farmland in Namibia. Rudie and Marlice flew up the following day to rescue the pups as they were in danger of human persecution.
The pups were just a few weeks old and are now in the safety of our sanctuary. The pups were originally fed three times on minced chicken mixed with calcium powder but have since moved onto game and are growing quickly!
