Rise up and howl for Wolfenoot - a holiday celebrating kindness, community, and our furry friends!
Get ready to celebrate a unique and heartwarming holiday on November 23 – Wolfenoot! This holiday was created in 2018 by a young boy named Josh, who wanted to create a day to appreciate not just wolves, but all animals. The name "Wolfenoot" comes from the combination of "wolf" and "noot", which is short for "new". On this day, people are encouraged to do acts of kindness towards animals and others, as well as enjoying a feast with friends and family. It's a perfect opportunity to spread love and positivity in the world. So mark your calendars and join in on the howling fun!
