As many of you know, our beloved wolfdog Awa was recently diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. Over the past week, we have been carefully monitoring her quality of life from home. We wanted to let everyone know that we have decided as a team to say goodbye to Awa tomorrow afternoon. Awa is 12 years old and has been with us at Alveus for 2 years. In that short time, she has taught millions of people around the world and she has carved out a space in the hearts of all of our team here at home. We are all so grateful to know and love such a special girl. Awa will be on our livecams until tomorrow morning for those of you who would like to say goodbye. Thank you for loving her and for giving us the opportunity to be her home.❤️

We are so sad to announce that our beloved Hank the Tank (aka Mr. McTrain) has passed away. Hank was a sweet charismatic millipede that taught millions of people why his species matters while inspiring them to be less afraid of bugs. He likely passed of old age after living a life eating lots of zucchini (without the rind) at Alveus. He made such a big impact in so little time. Thank you for everything, Hank.❤️
