Wolves are essential for the health of our ecosystems. They help fight climate change and maintain balance. Unfortunately, they are often hunted due to fear and misunderstanding. Since being removed from the Endangered Species Act, cruelty toward wolves has increased. Ranchers kill wolves out of concern for their livestock, but predators cause less than 0.01% of cattle deaths in areas where wolves live.

A wolf-dog is a mix between a wolf and a domestic dog. They are frequently abandoned by their owners due to their specialized needs. Many end up in shelters where they’re euthanized 90% of the time because they don’t fit as pets or wildlife. Sanctuaries like ours provide them with a safe, enriched environment while educating the public on their true nature, wild wolf conservation, and the realities of irresponsible ownership.

Wolves can be protected with stronger laws, advocacy, and raising awareness about their essential role in our ecosystems. Changing how people view wolves is crucial, making education key in wolf conservation.

Wolf-dogs need protection by discouraging breeding and selling, promoting adoption, supporting specialized sanctuaries, and educating the public.

Supporting conservation groups and wolf-dog sanctuaries can create positive change.

You can help wolves and wolf-dogs in several ways:

• Advocacy and Lobbying: Researching laws that impact wolf protections, contacting representatives, and mobilizing people to take action.
