3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
Sarvey Wildlife Care Center, the +63% charity jump
ANW 8''s featured charity is the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center, a Washington-state nonprofit that treats over 2,000 sick, injured, orphaned, or displaced wild animals every year, with the explicit promise that no animal is ever turned away for lack of funds.
Andy the wolf and ANW's Pacific Northwest design language
ANW''s mascot Andy the wolf was designed by Golden Druid and Crystal Grant and built by Laurie Jacobs and Miander at Dandylions, a local Pacific Northwest fursuit maker. Andy is the design embodiment of the region: his back features a waterfall, and his muted color palette tracks the greys, greens, and browns of the Pacific Northwest.
New Year's Eve weekend, the Winter Feast, and Formal Masquerade
ANW is one of the rare mainstream furry conventions deliberately scheduled across New Year''s Eve weekend: ANW 8 ran December 31, 2025 to January 4, 2026, and ANW 9 shifts to January 7-10, 2027.
