Kodie
Hi I’m Kodie. My full name is Kodiak but my friends call me Kodie so you can too. I have my very own territory with lots of grass and bushes and space to run around. I have explored every inch of it and now it all smells like me which makes me feel right at home. I’m very curious but I'm still a little nervous around new people. After awhile once I feel comfortable I love to pounce and play along the fence. Come visit me on a tour!
Shadow
Hellooooo, hello. I am Shadow! I am a dignified female wolf from Missouri with a big personality. I wear my heart on my paw and am not afraid to speak my mind. I hope you will come visit me! You may hear my voice before you see me but I will be watching for you!

Jasmine
Spirit
Hey, I’m Spirit. I live up on a big hill with my best friend Mika. Mika and I love to chase each other through the tunnels in our territory and we play all day long. I am very friendly because I used to live in Maryland with a very nice family who taught me it was okay to trust people. I still like it when humans come to see me, but I like playing with Mika even more! I’ve been told I have the most beautiful wolf eyes. Isn’t that just the nicest thing! Come visit me on a tour.
Spirit and Mika
Mika
Hi, my name’s Mika. I came from Virginia. I was so scared when I got to the sanctuary. I did not want anyone to touch me. They would come every day and sit in my house with me. No one forced me to do anything, they just sat with me. After a while I got the idea that I would sneak behind them and push them and run away. They did nothing but sit, not yelling at me or anything! I started feeling like I was safe, and that maybe I was going to like it here. And you know what? Now I love it here, and I love to run over and say hello when the humans come to see me. I even let them interact with me but always on my own terms, and that is how I like it. I live with my best friend Spirit in a large territory that we have all to ourselves. I have a big fluffy white coat that keeps me toasty in the winter and by summertime I shed it all right off as if I had a brand new haircut! That way I don’t get too hot on sunny summer days. I love to play and goof around. Come see me on a tour and maybe you’ll catch me and Spirit goofing around together!
Mika's Lifetime Guardians are David and Dabney Schneider
Nova
Hi there! I’m Nova! I am a small female but don’t let my dainty size fool you – I am still a wolf at heart! When I was very little I remember being alone and very afraid and confused. I was not with my family long enough to learn trust or how to play. I felt very lost in a world of concrete and small spaces. When I arrived here there were birds chirping and leaves rustling and I even heard the howling of other wolves, just like me! Soon I got to have my very own territory just like I’d always dreamed! I have a very special friend now named Little Joe and he is teaching me how to play and have fun! I never had playmates before! Come visit me soon on a Private Tour! I will be watching for you!
Little Joe
Hi Hi Hi! Ummmmmmm, I’m Little Joe! I came here when I was just a wee pup but I grew up quick and am still learning all the ways and wonders of the world! I was very very very scared growing up since I was shipped and bumped and shoved across the country all the way from Texas to Pittsburgh all alone but I finally have a forest home and a companion to spend my days with! I am bit obsessed with being organized. I keep my territory tidy and I carefully arrange all of my treats and bones and sticks straight in a line on my platform. Come visit me on a Private Tour! I will see you, you may see me. The sight of people still makes me nervous.
Little Joe's Lifetime Guardian is Reese Rottman
Luna
Hi! I'm Luna Mishka! I am a very playful female wolf-dog. I love to romp around and play with sticks and bones and all kinds of natural toys! I also love to pounce around in my pond on hot days. Right now I have to go and finish a game of Hide and Seek with Kaya. Come visit us on a tour soon!
Kaya
Hello! My name is Kaya. I am a female wolf-dog and I’m still a little shy. I do love to pounce and play with my pack-mate Luna, though. Sometimes I sneak and steal one of Luna’s bones when she’s not looking then I hide it! It’s a really funny game. She always seems to find it again though. Come for a tour to see us soon!
Violet
Hi! My name is Violet and I’m a young female. I’m submissive around my siblings, I know they’re in charge and I’m happy to flop down and show my belly so they know I’m not challenging them. I’m very social with my human caretakers, but I’m quite cautious around new things. I love to play and I’m very energetic.
Vivian Laurel
Hi! I’m Vivian Laurel. I am a young female and I am the leader of my pack! I am very dominant with my siblings and I make sure they know that I’m in charge. I love to play and romp around with them. When it comes to my human caretakers I’m super social and I love to spend time around them. I often melt into a puddle when they appear because I’m just so excited. I love to have attention all to myself!
Akela
Hi! My name is Akela! I am a male from Colorado. The humans I lived with before took good care of me but I wasn’t like the dogs they had – I’m a wolf after all! I love being around other wolves and playing and running along the fence with them. I lived with the most wonderful companion for awhile. Her name was Tala. She passed away and I do miss her very much sometimes. Now I live with Maka - she is a female with tons of energy! We love to play together. Come visit me on a tour soon. I will be keeping an eye out for you!
Maka
Well hello there, I’m Maka! I came a long way to get here and I sure am glad to finally have a home. When I was growing up I met a lot of humans who didn't really understand me so I didn't have many friends. Then I met some really nice people in Texas and they helped me find a home here at the sanctuary! I love to carry my toys around in my mouth when I’m really happy and when I am really nervous too. Come visit me on a Private Tour!
Blue
Hi, I’m Blue. I have to tell you I am pretty shy. I came from Montana. Come visit me on a Private Tour – keep an eye out for me in the distance – I’ll be watching for you.
Isabelle
Hi my name is Isabelle, Izzie for short! I’m a female who was rescued from Maryland. When I first got to the sanctuary I tried to show my feisty side, so everyone could see how tough I was. Soon after I arrived I was so excited that my sister Sweetie ended up coming to the sanctuary too! Sweetie convinced me that I could drop the tough girl act. She passed away and I do miss her very much sometimes. I have a new friend now named Halona and we get along together very well. We love to run and play.
Halona
Hey hey! I'm Halona and I had quite a journey before I came to the sanctuary all the way from Iowa. A family took me in after they found me skinny and tethered in a dark barn. The family then sought out a better life for me after it became clear that I was not thriving in a household environment. I love playing with my pack-mate Isabelle, Izzie for short. We love to romp and jump and run together.
Shawnee
Hi! I’m Shawnee! Oh boy am I excited to be here. I used to live in a house with some humans who I loved a whole lot but I am a very big female and I outgrew their human lifestyle. I missed them when I first came here but I learned that the humans here are super nice too! I love when people come to visit. My pack-mate Kuzco is around my age and we are close to the same size so we just love to play. You may hear us howling from our forest hilltop, but the only way to see us is on a private tour!
Kuzco
Hi! I’m Kuzco! I just love it here! Some people may think I look silly because of my ears but I have the spirit of the wolf in me and all I’ve ever wanted my whole life was another wolf companion to play with. Now I live in a big forest territory with my best friend, Shawnee! It takes me awhile to trust people sometimes, but once I trust you I’ll never forget you! Stop by to see us on a private tour – I’ll be the one with the floppy ears and long black tail!
Whiskey
Hi! I'm called Whiskey! I am a young pup but I'm growing up fast and strong. I came here in a big moving den all the way from a place called Illinois. When I arrived I got to meet this beautiful female named Eve. We have the most fun playing and pouncing and jaw wrestling together!
Whiskey's Lifetime Guardian is Declan Fowler

Eve
Hi! My name is Eve and I’m the boss don’t anyone tell you otherwise! I may be small but I am growing fast and I love to play. Me and my pal Whiskey have endless energy and we love to tousle. Come see us!
Sunrise
Hi I’m Sunrise. I spent some time alone in the woods before coming here. Each morning at Sunrise I would appear on the horizon until a kind human started to give me food and earn my trust and eventually with the help of a local rescue, helped me find a permanent home here at the sanctuary. Now I have my very own woods to roam and I don’t have to worry anymore about being hungry or alone. I am quite calm and curious and I am watchful from afar. Come visit me on a tour!
Sky
My name is Sky and I was born in August 2012. I love to run, eat and play. I am happy to be here and out of that little box that mean man kept me in for most of my early puppy life. This place is so big I’m still amazed by it! I was so excited when I got to come down and see the other wolves. I used to live with this big handsome boy they roomed me with. His name was Rogue. He passed away and I do miss him very much sometimes. I lived with a handsome young male named Scadan for awhile but he was a bit too sprightly for me in my older years so he went to live with a different pack. Now I have settled into retirement with my quirky new pack-mate, Sunrise. I love when humans come to visit me to spend time with me and keep me company! Come see me on a tour.
Shiloh
Hello there! I am Shiloh and I am a young male. I just love to nestle into a comfy spot with a nice crunchy stick or branch to munch on. I’m somewhat shy around my human caretakers, and I’m very shy of new experiences and unfamiliar humans but I do like to come to the fence and see what’s going on.
Hera
Hello there, my name is Hera. I am a young female and I like to carry myself with a quiet elegance. Don’t let that fool you, though, I may be shy but I am certainly not submissive. I used to live with my siblings but they were picking on me a bit and I would always stand my ground during playtime and protect my favorite bone or stick. I don't think my sisters liked that very much. I live next door to them with my brother Shiloh now and I am much happier. I am very shy around humans though I’m happy to come to the fence to investigate.
Hera's Lifetime Guardian is Jan Wiedemann.
Lobo
Hello there. It is nice to meet you. The humans have bestowed upon me the name of Lobo. I am told that the name Lobo describes my cousins in the wild, the Mexican Gray wolves, who are very endangered. I wear my name with honor. I came here all the way from Missouri. A kind family helped me find a home here after they found me abandoned in the woods while they were on vacation. Now I have my very own woods that I share with my lovely and beautiful companion, Vada. Come visit me on a Private Tour!
Vada
Hi, I am Vada of the Woods and Sun and Moon. Ha, I just like to say that. It sounds so wonderful and I think of myself just like that. I am wonderfully full of joy and a heritage that beckons the very material of time. I lived with the love of my life until he passed from cancer. It was a devastating blow to my heart, but my will is strong and I have carried on in memory and because I am a strong female. I still love life albeit I find it a bit quieter without my love. Some months passed and my caretakers came to my wooded home introduced me to a strong male named Lobo. I am so happy to have found joy and friendship again. Come see me on a tour. I am Vada!
Vada's Lifetime Guardian is Heidi Hinz
Circe
Hi, I’m Circe! I am from Connecticut and I took a long journey to get here. I escaped from a household up there and was captured. Some kind people from a shelter made friends with me and helped me feel safe and brought me to the sanctuary to live. Now I am making new human friends here. I had a very good friend here for awhile. His name was Jasper and I loved hanging out with him. He passed away recently and I do miss him quite a lot. I have a new companion now, his name is Bear. I am still getting to know him but we are starting to play and have fun together. I am quite shy around new faces but if you come to see me I will be watching for you from a distance!
Bear II
I am Bear hear me woof! I can howl too if I want. I hail all the way from Florida. I lived with my human in Florida, but things changed and I wasn't able to continue living with him. You see, lots of space is needed for us wolves to live comfortably and sadly my human's living conditions had to change and that meant his and my life had to change too. He searched and found a new home for me. A forever home. I will never have to leave. I miss him very much sometimes but I am very glad that he was able to find a nice place for me to live safe and protected. I love my forest home and my pack-mate Circe. My companion and I are not on the public tour, but if you happen to be on a private tour you might see us peeking through the trees in our home.
Towa
Hi! I’m Towa! I was rescued from Pennsylvania after I outgrew several human households – what can I say, I am a wolf and I want to romp and play and be free! I am so happy to be here in my very own forest home. And I get to share it with the most fun pack mate ever - Luna Belle! She is a bit wild sometimes since she is a young pup but we have a great time together. I hope you will come see us on a tour. I am a bit shy but I will be watching for you!
Luna Belle
Hi! My name is Luna Belle! I am a young pup and just bursting with energy! I am super excited to be here. I came in all alone and when I realized my foster was leaving me, I got really sad. You see I was bounced around a bit before coming to my new home here at the sanctuary, but everyone here paid special attention to me and I soon felt safe. I have really grown to love my new home and am so happy to be here now! Just a week after I moved here I got to go have play dates with a very patient older female, she told me her name was Towa. Now I live with my very best friend Towa and I love to run and pounce and nibble and play with her all day long. Like I said she is patient ‘cause I am younger and my energy can be a bit much. She tells me right from wrong gently. I try to listen, but sometimes well the energy is just bursting and I can’t help myself. I hope you will come see us on a tour!
Vulcan
Hello there. I am called Vulcan by the humans. I must say I am rather happy to be here in my own forest home with my dear companion Anubis. He is a bit younger than me and much more boisterous but I do enjoy running and playing and he is quite entertaining. I do reprimand him at times - he is still a young pup and must learn the way of the wolf. I hope you will come visit us on a Private Tour soon. I do enjoy visitors. Come see us!
Anubis
Um hi, hi there, hi. My name is Anubis and I'm very excited to be here. I'm young and bursting with energy but I'm still learning how to be a wolf. People didn't really understand me when I was younger and I didn't really understand myself. Now I am just starting to learn how to be free and run and play! I'm also learning that it's ok to trust people who understand and respect wolves like me. Come see me on a Private Tour! I may be nervous at first but if you are calm and quiet I will know that you are a friend.
Anubis' Lifetime Guardian is Alan Olshan
Little Girl
My name is Little Girl but I am not really sure why—I’m a big and strong, hear me howl! I came to the Sanctuary from Missouri. I used to live with a big strong male named Tioga but he passed away. We had the most fun playing together, and I still miss him very much sometimes. Now I live with a younger male named Wylie. We have the most fun running and playing together! I love when people come to see me. Sometimes I watch from afar and other times I come right up to the fence to investigate. Come visit me and see how playful I can be!
Wylie
Hey! Hi! They call me Wylie. I can’t tell you how excited I am to be here. Before I came here I never quite fit in anywhere. I didn't belong in a house with humans and at the shelter I was different from all the dogs there. Here I finally found my home and I feel like I fit right in! I love hanging out on top of my hill and on my house so that I can see all around. I am a bit shy. Strangers are a bit scary to me so stand still when you see me, and I will relax and maybe come close to the fence. Don’t worry though, I am always watching. Come visit me!
Wylie's Lifetime Guardian is Allene (Allie) Gagliano
Anastasia
Hello, there. I am Anastasia. I am very shy – I am a wolf after all! I am still learning to trust humans so when people come to visit me I sometimes duck behind a bush and peer out to see who is there. I am learning to trust the people who come to care for me and bring me dinner. They bring juicy pieces of meat right on the bone – Yum! Come visit me on a tour! You may not see me but I will be watching for you!
Remus
Hello? Oh Hi there! I am Remus. I lived in a household in my younger days but I outgrew that setting quite quickly. I am happy to be at the sanctuary now and I love having my very own forest enclosure. I am very shy of humans but I am learning to slowly trust the ones who care for me here. If you come to visit please remember that I am rather shy but I will be watching for you!
Remus' Lifetime Guardian is Olga Navros
Freya
Hey! I’m Freya. I’m a young female wolf and I am very adventurous and I’m always the first one to try new things. I love to swim in my pond and I’m somewhat social with my human caretakers and I’m also very mischievous. I used to live with my family but me and my sister had a falling out so I moved next door. Now I live with my best friend Odin and we have tons of fun together. Come visit me soon!
Freya's Lifetime Guardian is John Carlin
Odin
Oh, hi, Hi! My name is Odin and I'm a little nervous but I'm excited to be here! I came all the way from California. I was destined to be a Hollywood star but it turned out that the spotlight wasn't for me. I am a wolf after all and I prefer a quieter life. My owner noticed that it wasn't the best environment for me and with the help of a local rescue project that helps wolves like me, they were able to find a home for me here at the sanctuary. I hope you will come visit me soon! I am quite shy but I am also very curious and I will be watching for you!
Voodoo
Hi there! The humans call me Voodoo, possibly because I have a mysterious look about me. I came from a place called New Jersey and I was brought here to the sanctuary with my lovely packmate Lyric. I am quite curious and I have a lot of energy! When people come to visit I love to come over to see what is going on. Come visit me! You may catch a glimpse of me watching you as you pass by.
Lyric
Well hello there! My name is Lyric. I was brought to the sanctuary with my packmate Voodoo from a place called New Jersey. I am a bit shy, I am a wolf after all, but I also like to know what's going on. I may not come up right away, I like to assess things from afar and then approach once I have made a decision about you. Come visit me! You may not see me at first but I will be watching for you!
Scadan
Hi! I'm Scadan! My name means red herring cause when I was little I had red guard hairs between my ears and down my back. 'Course I am grown now and am all black with grey fringe. I came all the way from Massachusetts. I lived with a very kind family there but I outgrew the human setting so they found a better place for me to live. I love romping in my forest home and playing and chewing on juicy bones. Come see me on a tour! I'm a little shy but I will be watching from a distance.
Ziva
Hi! I'm Ziva and I'm very excited to be here! I grew up in a place called New Jersey. I was separated from my parents when I was little but I still lived near them. Their names are Voodoo and Lyric and believe it or not they were rescued the same time as me and they live here now too! I can hear them howling in the distance. I love having grass under my toes now and I think I will get to meet a new pack mate soon. Come visit me! I am a bit shy but I will be watching for you!
Rumor
I am Rumor. I am a shy but very attractive independent female from Plumpton Park Zoo in Maryland. I retired from exhibit there so they sought a new home for me. I love my forest territory here! It is much different than the zoo. So many smells and hidey holes. I feel very happy to have retired in such a nice place. I hope you will come visit us!
Moses
I am Moses. I am rather shy and quite independent. It takes me some time to get comfortable in new surroundings, but what can I say - I am a wolf after all! I love the outdoors and I enjoy being free to make my own decisions and to do as I please. I hope you might come visit me on a Private Tour! I may be hiding amongst the trees but I will be watching for you!
Running Bear
I am Running Bear. I was rescued with my siblings, Yellow Feather and Watonie. Our brother Achilles was reunited with us later and we were so happy that he was saved from a horrible past. Achilles and Watonie have passed on to be with our ancestors and I do miss them very much. I now live with my sister Yellow Feather once again. I am really quite shy at first, but over time I learn to trust some of my human caretakers if they are patient. I love to run and play. People say I have the most beautiful markings on my face! Come visit me on a Private Tour.
Running Bear's Lifetime Guardian is David R Schneider
Yellow Feather
I am Yellow Feather, and I am an Alpha female. I was rescued from Elizabethtown along with my siblings Running Bear and Watonie. We lived together for awhile but then I met the most wonderful male named Dakota and we became an Alpha pair and moved into our own forest territory. Dakota passed away some time ago and I still miss him very much sometimes. I lived with a new pack-mate Loci for the last few years but he passed away too and I miss him very much also. I now live with my brother Running Bear again. I am still a little cautious around most humans, just being smart, I call it! Come visit me on a Private Tour. I may be a little shy but I will be watching for you.
Yellow Feather's Lifetime Guardian is Dabney M Schneider
