W.O.L.F. Sanctuary

For 30 years, W.O.L.F. Sanctuary has answered the call for captive-born wolves and wolf dogs who have nowhere else to go. They are the in-between—the forgotten ones. Too tame for the wild, yet often too wild for life as traditional companion animals.

Born into captivity, abandoned, or surrendered through no fault of their own, these animals need compassion, understanding, and a place to belong.

At W.O.L.F. Sanctuary, they find all three through our core pillars:

• Rescue: We respond when wolf dogs are in crisis—working alongside partners nationwide to coordinate urgent rescues, provide transportation, and ensure safe placement for animals who would otherwise face euthanasia or neglect. We've coordinated hundreds of successful rescues this year alone.
• Sanctuary: Our residents live out their days in large, half-acre habitats that mimic their natural environments. Every animal receives individualized attention, veterinary care, enrichment, and the dignity and safety of a forever home.
• Education: We strive to change hearts and minds by helping people understand the unique needs of captive-born wolves and wolf dogs—and the vital role wild wolves play in maintaining balance within our ecosystems. Through outreach and ambassador programs, we teach respect for these incredible animals and the natural world we all share.

Now, as we prepare to open our new home in Red Feather Lakes, your support means more than ever. Your gift will help fund daily operations, complete essential property improvements, and expand our capacity to rescue more animals and welcome visitors for educational experiences.

The more we raise this Colorado Gives Day, the more lives we can save—and the greater the impact we can make for wolf dogs and wolves everywhere.
