Shy Wolf Sanctuary Steps Out for Wolfstock Brewfest

Shy Wolf Sanctuary hosted the Fourth Wolfstock BrewFest and Concert from 4:00 to 8:00 PM on Saturday, February 4 at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples. Guests were able to sample Southwest Florida’s finest craft and specialty brews while jamming to a lineup of blues and rock bands. The opening band was ‘’All For You’’ which is the Classic Rock and Blues Band from Naples. After their amazing performance Kari Melissa and the Inferno were on the stage. The guests enjoyed their awesome music with a beautiful sunset. The band was howling with the crowd between their songs and some of the guests' puppies started howling with them!

Headlining the concert was The Champ Jaxon Band, a 12-year-old blues-rock musician based out of Southwest Florida and nominated three times for the 43rd Young Artist Academy Awards.

Champ already has an extensive resume, playing multiple shows with The Marshall Tucker Band and opening for acts such as Alabama and Mark Wills. He has performed for more than 100 gigs across six states and has been awarded this October as the regional winner of The International Blues Challenge.

The event featured artists Esau Rodriguez, Mully and Ron E. Gross (Magikheart) with their wonderful paintings. And of course, there were plenty of pups including Nola, Vector, Sophie and Mr. Peabody from Shy Wolf Sanctuary. Nola was in a hoarding situation and came to the Sanctuary in January 2021. She has been one of their most dependable ambassador animals and is loved by all the children and adults who get the opportunity to meet her. Vector, Sophie and Mr. Peabody are looking for a home. Vector is a “Native American Indian Dog,” a line that was created from wolfdogs originally based out of Michigan. Sophie and Mr. Peabody get along famously and would love to be adopted together.

Shy Wolf Sanctuary rescues captive bred exotic and wild animals unable to be released back to the wild who would otherwise be euthanized. Those animals come to the sanctuary from situations where they may have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. They provide sanctuary for the rest of their lives if they cannot be placed in a home. They do not buy, sell or breed. They also educate visitors and their community by sharing the stories and lessons the rescued animals and residents teach them. Shy Wolf Sanctuary feeds 52,000 pounds of meat a year and has rescued just under 1,300 since they were first founded. Supporting Shy Wolf Sanctuary allows them to continue with this amazing work.
