    The wolf sanctuary is a Blessing! Especially for the wolves the people think they can have them for pets....they are meant to be a wild animal! GOD be ppl on the earth to take care of all HIS creatures, NOT assume that we can change their behavior and do whatever we want with them.... respect the animal and leave them w their pack... they are Beautiful animals and have gotten a bad reputation due to ppl tring to change them and keep them as pets and end up releasing them... 😢 respect all animals and ppl for that matter. The sanctuary is the perfect place for the wolves to re- become who they are. I love the gray wolves... and on their site they have a list of items that are needed , ppl can donate what they can. I'm dying to attend a full moon event... and I will. I'm hoping to get a full moon rt on the night , preferably on Saturday. Let's all try to do our part to help these magnificent animals. Thank you to all the ppl that work / Volunteer there. Great Job
