Wolf Haven International

Yes they do take wolf dogs! I would highly recommend calling them to get in contact with them as quickly as possible. There is a process for them to be taken in and I know that they get many requests and are only able to take on so many, good luck!

Wolf Haven rescues captive-born, displaced wolves and provides a lifetime home for them. We offer symbolic adoptions by which people can donate a small amount to help support our resident wolves. We strongly urge people to adopt one of the hundreds of breeds of dogs that are in desperate need of a home. Wolves & wolfdogs do not make good pets and one reason is that they are incredibly hard to contain in a specific area.

This is one of THE best sanctuaries. They imdeed use $$ towatd the sanctiary needs, wolf vets, diet etc...its fun! They do some grt basic education& have full wolf breeds& wolf dog hybrids that sooo try to howl w the pack! A huge roaming area and again magical as miles away is a train and they really get to howling as a murder of crows and huge ravens make noise overhead! Wash.is lucky to have them❤✌😎.

I am not sure where that idea came from, certainly NOT from the Board of either Wolf Haven International nor the Board of the McCleery Buffalo Wolf Foundation.

You may want to reach out them directly but groom the tours I've been blessed to be on i know they work really hard for rehab and long loved lives of their wolf friends

Wolf haven does. But I do not know what the process is.

Wolf Haven International is a rescue sanctuary for captive-born and bred wolves and wolfdogs. We do not adopt out or sell them. We also do not support or recommend that humans keep wolves and wolfdogs as pets, as having a wild animal in a domestic situation often results in behaviors that are detrimental to both the animal and the owner.

While we are not yet open to the public if someone would like to walk on the prairie just give us a call at 360-264-4695 x220 to let us know and to make sure the gate is open. All people visiting Wolf Haven must be fully vaccinated.

We don’t know yet - Wolf Haven is looking at June 2021, but it all depends upon the pandemic situation. Thank you for checking.

It may be possible. I think they have specific third parties they work with though. I think it would be worth calling or emailing them.

Wolf Haven's education department offers unpaid internships. We are not currently hiring in any of our departments - job openings are announced on our website.

Yes, but only on weekends.

Yes! As Timothy mentioned, it's best to make a reservation, either over the phone or on the Wolf Haven website. Here is a link to a page with more information. https://wolfhaven.org/about-us/

Id recommend calling and asking about whether or not they need volunteers to help.

No - the Sept 28 event, Wolves & Wine, is held at Saint Martin's University in Lacey, WA (not at Wolf Haven itself). For anybody who wants more information about this fun night, check out this link. https://wolfhaven.org/wolves-wine-2/

Most likely. All visitors must schedule an appointment. The staff is very helpful. Give them a call

Timothy is correct, although most visits last a minimum of 50 minutes. Some guides talk a bit longer, and it can run into an hour, but the official length is 50 minutes. As he mentioned, the visitor has the possibility of seeing 12 wolves in six enclosures. That includes gray wolves, Mexican wolves, red wolves and wolfdogs. The sanctuary houses @60 animals, but most are only seen by animal care staff.

Hello Anthony. No, we don't howl with wolves or light campfires anymore - that was in our Wolf Haven's earliest days. We have an annual camping event in the summer called "A Midsummer's Night" instead. Better for the wolves and more enjoyable for our guests. We're sold out in 2019, but will have more next summer. https://wolfhaven.org/events/

They are behind a fence for safety but you can definitely get a feel for their personalities more then at a zoo.

I've attached a link to the page with our admission fees, which are based upon age and student status. We are only open two days a week during Fall /Winter, and four days a week during Spring / Summer, and do not offer a free or discount admission. As a nonprofit organization, our sanctuary is funded through admission prices and donations. Thanks for asking and giving us an opportunity to clarify. https://wolfhaven.org/visit/about-your-sanctuary-visit/

The good folks at the Wolf Haven can answer that for you. In fact, that very question was asked last time I was there. It's easier to tell than you might think.

I believe they have the facility at UC Davis do their DNA testing.

It is scheduled to go out at the end of January, 2019. Happy New Year!

Yes, sure do

They bury the fence 3 feet down into the ground. They've found the wolves won't dig that deep.

Everything you need to know is on this webpage: https://wolfhaven.org/visit/about-your-sanctuary-visit/

You dont actually adopt the wolf, Wolf Haven keeps custody. You also likely won't be the only person who has "adopted" them. It is more like sponsoring the wolf.

Noralee is correct - no need for a high end camera. The wolves are typically paired male and female per enclosure, and as you noted, these are constructed from chain link. We do have some photos of the wolves available in the Gift Shop, which were taken by a professional photographer (still through the chain link).

Reservations were required when I went. $13 adults, $11 senior/active duty, $7.50 kids

This is a wolf sanctuary so there is minimal exposure to humans they are in large enclosures 1/3 to 1/2 acre minimum you do get to see them but no contact

You can. But you have to have a certain amount of people and it is pretty expensive. Either way you'll have to contact them to set it up.

Yes it does. $7.50 - $13.00

The symbolic adoption prices range from $25-$125 (plus additional processing fee for international transactions). The website lists the details. The cheapest being basic adoption for $25, then classroom adoption for $40, then sponsorship adoption fir $125.
