The Founder’s Circle

The Founder’s Circle

Carry the Fire of the Dire Wolf Project

What Happens If the Flame Goes Out?

Imagine for a moment… if Lois and I were gone tomorrow.

What would happen to the Dire Wolf Project?

 

Who would carry the torch of this great idea?

Who would defend the truth we’ve safeguarded for decades from the cold winds of extinction?

Because what we hold isn’t just a breeding program.

It’s a philosophy.

A rebellion against everything broken in modern dog breeding.

It’s the belief that dogs were never meant to be ornaments or trophies, but companions molded by love, wisdom, and purpose.

If this message disappears, the world will slip back into that old darkness. The same greedy, appearance-obsessed world that’s been destroying our beloved furry friends since the eugenics era of the late 1800s.

The same world that twisted the wolf’s noble lineage into something fragile and fearful.

We can’t let that happen.

 

Just as the dire wolf vanished from the earth when the Ice Age ended, this movement could vanish too.

Unless we prepare the next generation to carry the torch.

That’s why we’ve created The Founder’s Circle.

 

The Mission

Lois is retired now.

Her body can no longer bear the physical burden of breeding, raising, and nurturing each new generation of American Dirus dogs.

And truthfully?

She’s earned her rest.

But while she is content to let the message fade with her, I am not.

Because what she began must outlive both of us.

The Founder’s Circle exists to ensure that this light never goes out; to create the structure, support, and continuity that will keep the Dire Wolf Project alive long after our bones have turned to dust.

This is where the next era begins.

 

What Your Support Makes Possible

Your membership isn’t just financial support; it’s a hand on the torch.

Here’s what you make possible each month through your $50 monthly subscription membership:

Protection of the Legacy

Every dollar goes toward securing the Project’s intellectual and legal foundation — trademarks, copyrights, and storytelling rights that ensure no one can distort what the American Dirus dog truly is.

Expansion of the Mission

Your contribution fuels education, marketing, and outreach so that more people learn the truth about what real, ethical dog breeding can be — a balance of heart and science, not greed and showmanship.

Creation of the Surrogate Breeder Program

A revolutionary idea waiting for the right moment to launch. A system that trains and supports new breeders who carry the Project’s values forward, ensuring the next generation of American Dirus dogs is raised with integrity, not ego.

Preservation Through Storytelling

Our films, books, and educational content are our “fossil record,”  preserving the story for the next century. Your support brings those stories to life, reaching new audiences who may one day join the pack.

Your membership keeps all of this alive.

Without it, the flame flickers.

With it, the fire grows.

 

The Rewards of Belonging

Your support deserves more than gratitude. It deserves legacy.

 When you join, you’ll receive tangible benefits that honor your commitment:

🔥 Permanent 20% Discount at the Dire Wolf Project Gift Shop

For as long as you remain a member, you’ll enjoy 20% off all regular items, and a few surprises along the way.

🔥 Access to Founder’s Circle-Only Merchandise

Exclusive gift shop items created just for Founder’s Circle members: apparel, journals, keepsakes, and treasures that mark your place in the lineage.

🔥 Early Access to Events and Experiences

You’ll be first to know when camps, live storytelling nights, or new Dire Wolf Project initiatives unfold.

🔥 Your Voice in the Future

As a Founder’s Circle member, you’ll be invited to exclusive Founder’s Circle-only monthly one hour live Zoom calls to ask questions, share your thoughts, gather feedback, and learn about new ideas as the Dire Wolf Project evolves. You’re not a bystander; you’re part of the pack shaping its next evolution.

🔥 Grandfathered Membership Rate

Lock in your spot at $50/month for life. Only 20 total slots are available. Once filled, this opportunity will be gone forever. We may open up new opportunities in the future, but never again at this original rate. 

 

Why $50?

Let’s be honest, $50 today doesn’t go far.

 It’s two fast-food meals, one fill-up at the gas pump, or a single bag of basic dog food.

But here, that same $50 carries weight.

It becomes purpose.

It becomes the link between generations.

It becomes the bridge between what has been and what will be.

Remember, $50 a month = $1.67 a day.

For that, you help ensure the Dire Wolf Project continues long after we’re gone.

That’s not just value; that’s immortality.

 

What the Founder’s Circle Is Not

This is not a board of directors.

This is not a democracy.

And this is not an elitist club.

You will never have to fight to be heard here.

Only the Dire Wolf Project’s shareholders have veto power, but the Founder’s Circle is where the real conversations happen.

It’s a circle of trust, guidance, and support. A place for passionate, intelligent, like-minded souls who care about truth more than noise.

We don’t want politics or drama; we want purpose.

 

Why We Need You Now

The Dire Wolf Project’s future depends on building a strong, stable foundation of support, not just in words, but in action.

Because there will come a day when my own voice will fade.

And when that happens, I want to know there’s a circle of protectors who understand.

Who see.

Who believe.

You are not just keeping dogs alive.

You are preserving a philosophy.

A living, breathing legacy that could heal the broken world of modern breeding and bring back the balance between beauty, health, and soul.

Without you, the message may die with us.

With you, it will outlive us all.

 

The Call of the Flame

Only 20 Founder’s Circle memberships are open at this time.

Each one is a torch waiting for a worthy hand.

When you join, your name becomes part of the official Founder’s Record… a lineage of those who stood between extinction and endurance.

Of course, you can leave at any time.

But once your place is extinguished, it won’t be offered to you again. Your torch then passes to another, so that one torch can light the next.

So if your heart stirs at this call…

If you feel the pull of the ancient and the new intertwining…

Then it’s time.

Step forward.

Take your place among the founders.

Carry the fire into the future.
