Sunrise
Hi I’m Sunrise and I am a wolf-dog. 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!
Little Girl
My name is Little Girl but I am not really sure why—I’m a big strong female timberwolf! I came to the Sanctuary from Missouri. I used to live with a big strong male timberwolf named Tioga but he passed away. We had the most fun playing together, and I do miss him very much sometimes. 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 on a Private Tour and see how playful I can be!
Tayha
Hello, my name is Tayha. I am a shy female timber wolf. I have learned so much since being here at the sanctuary. I don’t remember much about my past, I still get a little bit stressed sometimes if I think about it too much and I start to pace. I’ve been able to move past that though since I’ve been in my new forest home. I have so much space and there are so many fun places to hide. I’ve grown to trust people too, especially the ones that bring us juicy treats and raw meat for dinner. I lived most of my life with my best friend Sakima. He passed away and I do miss him very much sometimes. Come visit me on a Private Tour!
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 Private Tour soon! You may not see me but I will be watching for you!
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, though I have both wolf and dog heritage. 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 and I hear that I may get a new companion soon too. Come visit me on a Private Tour!
Vada
Hi! I'm Vada! I am a playful an energetic wolf-dog. I love when the humans come to visit me and give me attention. Sometimes I can get too excited and I have to remind myself to calm down since I am much stronger than them! I love to play with juicy bones and treats. I lived with my very best friend Mr. D Dozer for many many years but he passed away and I do miss him very much sometimes. Come visit me on a Private Tour, I will keep my eye out for you.
Sophie
I am Sophie. I came from New York City with my friend Ginny, but Ginny I parted ways a few years back. I used to live with a big wonderful male named Sullivan Ryuk. He was a big goof and I loved to pounce and play with him. He has passed away and I do miss him very much sometimes. I hope to find a new companion soon to share my days with. Come visit me on a tour, I love visitors.
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 can't wait to have 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. I am not quite on tour yet but keep checking back for updates if you would like to see me. Please remember that I am rather shy but I will be watching for you!
Achilles
I am Achilles. I was just under a year when I arrived. Battered but not broken. My will and my spirit remained intact. I lived with a man who had no respect for any other, and I was in constant fear. I dreamed of a day when I would run free and wished to see my brothers and sisters again. My hope draining slowly as the days turned into months, then one day while I was hiding in a corner unable to open my mouth. There was some kind of contraption on it. I learned that thing on my face was a muzzle. Anyway I digress, I was listening intently to what my captors were saying. Something about having to hide me. Someone was coming to check the den and I could not be there when they arrived. Early in the morning the mate of the evil human wrapped me up and took me out of the den and into another. There was noise outside and suddenly I was being brought back to that horrible place. But no, there were other humans in uniforms and someone else with the gentlest eyes and they were trained on me. I did not get to go with him at first. I was loaded in the back of a truck and spirited away. I was terrified. I already knew what horrors awaited be at my home, but what NOW! Where was I going and what was to become of me?
I didn't know it then but I had just started my new life.
I arrived at a place where they poked and prodded me, but ever so gently. My fear slipped away. Here I could tell everyone around me just wanted to heal me. I laid on the table still and quiet. I think I was in a bit of shock, maybe. They fixed my neck. I had a big hole in it where infection had set in. I had been beaten a lot at my home, and I ached all over. But the hands that touched me now meant no harm. I could feel the difference, and those gentle eyes were there to tell me it was all going to be okay. I was going home, a new home.
I went to sleep, and when I woke up, well there was lots of fuss over me. I would not let anyone touch me at first. But they kept after me. Sitting in the same room with me, but not making me do anything I did not want to do. Slowly I thought I would take that bit of food offered. Why not? I could hear off in the distance a familiar sound. A calling, but I was not sure. I did not want to get my hopes up.
The gentle eyes came to visit me every day. I learned that this man was to be my care taker. He has always been very gentle with me. He reunited me with three of my siblings. I still recall the first day I saw them. WOW my heart soared. I was put in a small area right beside them and when the gentle eyes thought all was safe he opened the gate. He and his mate stood there with their breath held, as I bolted into my family’s home! I ran and ran -- the wind could not even catch me. I had never run before and what a feeling. My family in my wake. Of course there have been tense moments as we got reacquainted. What family doesn't?
I live with just two of my siblings now since our other sister lives in a different territory with her mate. I love my pack and we laugh and play and run and fight. We are a pack. We are proud and fierce and invincible! We are Wolf! I learned that is now my home, and I truly feel safe here. Oh and the gentle eyes still come to visit me, not as much as they used to. But then I have my family now, and there are new wolves to rescue and heal aren't there? Please help in our journey. Help the gentle eyes. Thank you for caring.
Come visit me on a Private Tour.

Running Bear among the trees
I am Running Bear. I was rescued with two of 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. Now it is just Achilles, Watonie and me – Yellow Feather is with her mate Dakota on the other hillside. 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 with my family. People say I have the most beautiful markings on my face! Come visit me on a Private Tour.

Watonie in the woods
I am Watonie. I am a female and the most timid member of my pack. I like to sit in the back and watch. I live with my two brothers, Running Bear and Achilles. Achilles was not rescued at the same time as us, and he doesn’t like to talk much about the time before he got to come to the sanctuary. I am so happy he is finally with us again! The three of us have the best time together. I am very shy around people at first, like my brother Running Bear, but once I build up trust I like to come a little closer to see what’s going on. Come visit me on a Private Tour. If you look closely, you might see me peering around a tree, but my markings help me blend in perfectly. I will be watching you even if you don't see me.

Cheyenne
Hi there, my name’s Cheyenne. I came from a place called New York. I used to have a lot of puppies back then but I never got to see any of them grow up, the humans would always take them away. I liked my humans well enough but I didn’t know what it was like to be free. Once I was rescued and brought to the sanctuary everything changed. Now I have my very own territory that I share with my wolf-dog friend named Yogi and we are free to do anything we like! I love when people come to see me! Come on a tour and visit us up on our beautiful hill!

Yogi
Hello! I’m Yogi! I am a young wolf-dog and I am super, super excited to be here! I came here when I was very little and oh boy I was beside myself with excitement to meet other wolves and wolf-dogs who were just like me! I was a little shy at first around my human caretakers but I got to know them very fast and they were so very nice. One day I got to meet a female wolf-dog named Cheyenne. She was so pretty and nice and she loves to play and run and jump and chase me and let me chase her. Now we play and pounce together all the time. Come visit us on a Private Tour soon! We will be watching for you!
Ginny enjoying herself
Hi! I am Ginny. I came from New York City. Can you imagine me there? It was very scary for me. I now live in a big forest home with my friend Dozer. I have since learned to warm up to the humans. I am also a very good jumper! Sometimes I like to run and hide to escape Dozer when we play. You can tell who I am by my beautiful heart shaped markings on my face. Come visit me on a Private Tour!
Dozer
I’m Dozer. I love, love, love to jump! I can jump up straight off the ground and I would probably reach right over the heads of my human caretakers. I grew up in a very small place and I don’t remember much about it but I am much happier here in my forest home with Ginny. We are both feisty and we love to play. Come see us on a private tour!

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!
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
Nova
Hi there! I’m Nova! I am a female wolf-dog 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 wolf-dog 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 am still a wee wolf but I am growing up quick and 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 wonderful pack-mate named Nova 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.
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!
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!
Goose
Hey there! My name is Goose. Me and my brother Blue are timberwolves from Montana. We are a little shy but we like to watch the visitors when they come. Come for a Private Tour and see us standing on our hilltop.
Blue
Hi, I'm Blue. I'm new around here and pretty shy. I came from Montana with my brother Goose. Come visit us on a Private Tour - keep an eye out for me in the distance - I'll be watching for you.
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!
Akira
Hello there, my name is Akira. I want to tell you right now that I am a prim and proper girl and I am thrilled to be here. I don’t have many fond memories from before I came here. There was a lot of mud and water and my fur was so covered in mud that you couldn’t see my beautiful coat. I am so so much happier now, I am all clean and healthy and I have a forest home where I can run and play. I also love to pounce and play with my pack-mate Kodie. He is much bigger than me but we just love to play together. Come visit us soon!
Vivian Laurel
Hi! I’m Vivian Laurel. I am a young female wolf 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!
Shiloh
Hello there! I am Shiloh and I am a young male wolf. 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 wolf and I like to carry myself with a quiet elegance. Don’t let that fool you, though, I’m not submissive with my siblings. I will still stand my ground during playtime and protect my favorite bone or stick. I am very shy around humans though I’m happy to come to the fence to investigate.
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 very social with my human caretakers and I’m also very mischievous.
Fenrir
Hello, I’m Fenrir, call me Fen for short. I am a young male wolf and I love to play but my very most favorite thing to do is to find a nice spot to nestle down and take a long nap. I love naps! I’m also very social with my human caretakers and I love to spend time around them too.
Violet
Hi! My name is Violet and I’m a young female wolf. 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.
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!
Akela
Hi! My name is Akela! I am a male wolf 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 wolf-dog 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!
Loci
Hi, I’m Loci. I can’t see very well. But that doesn’t stop me from anything. I definitely know my surroundings! I was rescued from Virginia. Now I live in my very own territory! I have a big pool that I like to splash and play in on hot days. Recently, I’ve been gaining a bit of my eyesight back—it’s not perfect yet but I’ve never seen a wolf wear glasses—have you? I get by perfectly fine with my nose and my ears. I have a GREAT sense of hearing and smell! Come visit me on a tour and see how I am doing!
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 wolf-dog named Dakota and we became an Alpha pair and moved into our own forest territory. Dakota passed away recently and I still miss him very much sometimes. 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.

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 new pack-mate Isabelle, Izzie for short. We love to romp and jump and run together.
Isabelle
Hi my name is Isabelle, Izzie for short! I’m a female wolf-dog 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.
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. Now I live with a handsome young wolf-dog names Scadan. He keeps me on my toes! I love when humans come to visit me to spend time with me and keep me company! Come see me on a tour.
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. Corse 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.
Levi
I am Levi. I am the largest of the brothers. You can tell me apart because my nose has a bit more gray in it. I like to hang out and goof around with my family members, especially my brother Lincoln. I am a strong wolf and I like to make the others submit to me. Come visit us on a tour soon!
Lincoln
I am Lincoln. I love showing off! I like when people talk about me! I look a lot like my brothers but you can tell who I am when you visit because my tail is a bit shorter than theirs. Some of the volunteers call me an Alpha because I am the first to eat in my pack. I don’t always show all of the dominant traits, though, sometimes I let my brother Levi show dominance instead. Come for a tour to see for yourself and tell me what you think!
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 wolf 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!
Midnight
Hi, I'm Midnight. I am strong and aspire to be a leader someday. For now, Mazikeen is still in charge of our little pack but the tides may change in months to come! We are all rather shy but I am also brave and fierce and my curiosity will sometimes lead me to investigate the humans when they approach. Come visit us but keep calm and still and as you peer across our enclosure you may catch a quick glimpse!
Gideon
Hi there! I'm Gideon. I'm the youngest member of my pack and I love to run and play! I am learning to be cautious like my family taught me, but sometimes I trot along the fence just behind the humans to see what they are up to. Careful not to turn too quickly - I will dart back into the brush! Come see me and my family on a tour!
Greybeard
Warmest regards, I am called Greybeard. I enjoy relaxing in the shade and keeping watch over my family. I am the largest and strongest in the pack and I am their protector. We prefer to keep out of sight, though our woodland hillside provides a nice view for when we are curious of the humans. Come visit us, you may see me in the distance - I will keep an eye out for you.
Mazikeen
Hello, I am Mazikeen. I am the leader of our pack, do not let Midnight lead you to believe otherwise. When it comes to humans, I am quite shy like the rest of my pack. We Northerners stick together and keep to ourselves, though we have keen eyesight and keep a close eye on visitors from a distance. Come visit us, I will be watching for you!
Whiskey and Eve

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. I’m not quite on tour yet since I’m still small but the humans said they will make sure to share stories and tales about me with the kind humans who adopt us!
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 wolf-dog named Eve. We have the most fun playing and pouncing and jaw wrestling together!
Lady Bodie
Hi, I am Lady Bodie! I arrived at the sanctuary with my darling Sir Spirit. We have lived together for most of our life at a wildlife preserve and are now ready for a nice quiet retirement together. When we arrived I felt it my duty to make my presence known with our neighbors - they must know that I am strong and that I will ensure that Sir Spirit and I have some peace and some quiet in our neighborhood; thank you very much! We would love for you to come see us on a tour. We enjoy visitors and may come to the fence to see who has come to visit us. But please understand we are in retirement and want only respectful passersby.
Sir Spirit
Hello, you may call me Sir Spirit. I lived many years at a wildlife preserve where I was raised with my beautiful and dearest Lady Bodie. People came to see us many hours in the day, but now we have retired from that lifestyle and are enjoying our quiet and peaceful forest residence. Though we enjoy the quiet life, we are very curious. Come visit us and you may see us approach the fence to get a better look at you! But I do caution you to keep the noise down, we want to enjoy our retirement and the benefits it allows.
Lady Bodie and Sir Spirit
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 and I have a new wolf-dog friend too! His name is Jasper and I love hanging out with him. Doesn’t that sound great? I hope you will visit us on tour!
Jasper
I just love living here! I also love attention and I am very smart. When I first got here I was very lonely. I wanted to be with other wolves or at least with one of these new humans but they said that for a little while I had to stay in a place called quarantine until I was ready to move. I decided I didn’t want to wait any longer so I chewed a hole in the door and they came and fixed it. Then I squiggled through the fence panel and the ceiling. They came and fixed that too. Then I found another weak spot and they even fixed that! Then I thought I will just chew a hole in the roof, and of course they fixed it. After awhile they put a new roof on and I was stuck. Arg! Little did I know I would not be in quarantine for very long. Before I knew it I was in a new enclosure with wolf friends and you know what? I never tried to escape again. We decided we no longer wanted to live together recently so the humans took me up to meet a new pack-mate. I think I kind of like her and I love to run around with my neighbors too! Come see us on a Private Tour!
