What a cute visitor we had this morning! This little female raccoon had gotten herself stuck in the worst place ever: the inside of a wolf's shift pen! Fortunately, we were able to get her out safely and move her to a safe, wooded area of the property! #sfws

It’s official! We have two new happy couples at the Sanctuary!!! ❤️ 🐺 Top: Achilles and Ryu Bottom: Alex and Raksha

If you think our 90lb Meeko is big: in January of 09 a black male wolf from one of the famed Yellowstone wolf packs, “Mollie’s Pack”, was weighed in at 143lbs, making him the largest wolf recorded in Yellowstone National Park. It’s ok Meeko, you’re still our big handsome guy. 🖤

“Going 2 bed in awe of everything. Open windows. Another nite carrying the sounds of thick trees & crickets & distant howls. Restlessness looms & distracts & dares is before we’re ready. The ⭐️ burn above. Summer is close. Life is so wild & difficult & amazingly enchanting.” VE

Clearly Romulus and Calypso were cut from the same cloth and MADE for each other! 😍 #lovebirds #Soulmates #twins #twinsies #LoveThursday

These 2 beautiful girls, named Ryu & Raksha, were greatly loved by their family & loved them in return. Unfortunately, their owner was no longer able to care for them due to life changes. We are so grateful she felt we are the right choice for her girls. #BestFriendsForLife #SFWS

Valentine's Day is just hours away and Meeko is READY for some smooches! (Pooch smooches with his wolfdog companion, of course.) ❤️ #sfws #ValentinesDay #wolf #wolfdog #kisses #smooch #heart #Companions

#TakeoverTuesday Wolves and wolfdogs do best on a diet of raw meat as their bodies do not need the carbohydrates and preservatives that are found in normal dog food (these can actually be bad for them).

#TakeoverTuesday Wolves and high-content wolfdogs can generally jump about 8 feet from a complete standstill. They are also great climbers.

#TakeoverTuesday Wolves and wolfdogs are much more timid and shy than your average dog and they also have an instinctual desire to roam. They make exceptional escape artists and in captivity require special enclosures for safe keeping.

#TakeoverTuesday In the wild, a wolf pack’s territory can span up to 100 square miles, and sometimes be as large as 1,000 square miles if prey is scarce and the pack needs to travel long distances to find prey

#TakeoverTuesday Tour tour-guide Kimberly is back to share some more photos. Stay posted for some fun facts that I put together on wolves & wolfdogs!

Read about one of the world's most famous wolves in this week's #FeatureFriday post! '06 was the epitome of a "Lone Wolf" - an animal that conquered the struggles of the wild all on its own. Oh, and did I mention, she was a girl. on.natgeo.com/2zuPydG via @NatGeo

Wolves & wolfdogs are often incredibly protective over their food and can snap in an instant if they feel it is being threatened. This awesome photo was captured by our Sanctuary Manager Brittany.
