Overview

• Amora, a maned wolf pup at the Sedgwick County Zoo, lost her mother shortly after birth, leaving her without a natural companion for development.
• The zoo partnered with the Kansas Humane Society to find a companion and adopted Slinky, a three-month-old brindle mix dog who had also faced loss after his sister was adopted.
• Slinky and Amora underwent a careful introduction process, including a quarantine period, to ensure their compatibility and safety.
• The playful nature of Slinky helps Amora develop essential social skills and behaviors necessary for her eventual transition to living with other maned wolves.
• Once Amora is integrated with her species, Slinky will be adopted by a zoo employee who has grown attached to him during his time at the zoo.
