Well wishers at yesterday’s birthday bash check out Atka’s meat-filled piñata moments before the Atka tore it to shreds!

We wanted to make sure Atka’s 15th birthday was special, so after the long, requisite talk about safety, etiquette, and responsibility, we gave him his very own email account at atka@nywolf.org! In a matter of hours, emails with photos, artwork, and wonderful well wishes started arriving at an alarming rate. Nearly 1000 emails filled Atka’s inbox – with messages from every continent with the exception of Antarctica! Enormous thanks to all of Atka’s wonderful supporters for joining us in celebrating a special wolf. We love you, Atka!
