Wolf Haven International

Female gray wolf, Billie, has some exciting changes coming her way... can you guess what they are? We can’t wait to share the news with you soon! _ #wolfhaven #sanctuary #education #conservation #wolf #wolves #teaser #update #comingsoon #insidelook #specialproject #wolfsanctuary

We can all relate to the experience of overnight hunger... American Red Wolf F2215 (Carmin) chose to quell her rumbling belly by munching on a salmon she saved from an earlier feeding. The trait of caching part of their food to eat later is something many of our residents exhibit

Being in the sanctuary as little as possible means we get behavior insights from remote cameras. However, there are other signs we look for, such as these paw prints inside a splash tub. Seeing who enjoys water can help us decide to get bigger water features for those animals.

We’re so grateful to provide our McCleery residents with enclosures that reflect a natural environment. Each spans an acre, and while no manmade space can replace the territory of wild wolves, it’s incredibly rewarding to see the wolves exploring & taking in the big Montana views

Wolf Haven will once again be hosting Dr. Mark Johnson and his superb Wildlife Handling and Chemical Immobilization Course from September 15-17, 2026. Information about the course can be found at wolfhaven.org/events. Mark your calendars - applications open June 15! #wildlife

Wolf Haven’s Executive Director, Geoff Willard, and Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife Wolf Biologist, Trent Roussin, were recently interviewed by TVW about the state's wolf recovery efforts and the 2025 annual wolf count. Check the story out here: tvw.org/video/the-impa…

#TBT Wolf Haven is proud to be part of the national recovery effort for the American Red Wolf. M2191 (Finch) was born at Wolf Haven in 2016 & was released into the wild in 2024, where he fathered two litters of pups. Read more about Finch's story at wolfhaven.org/blog/categorie…

Every wolf has a unique howl, and Mexican wolves M1631 (Moro) - on the platform - and F2055 (Marigold) - on the ground - showcase theirs. Nature provided the mist for ambience! #wolfhaven #sanctuary #education #conservation #wolf #wolves #caughtoncamera #wolfsanctuary #howling

A trail camera placed in their shelter pen revealed nighttime play between the brother-sister duo, Tarragon & Valerian. But don’t let this sweet sight make you forget about their mischievous sides... they later removed the strap from this trail camera and cached it in their straw

Feeding 40 carnivores is no easy task, and we do our best to reduce waste and do as little harm in the process. Learn more about how Wolf Haven’s feeding practices are informed by our philosophy of care via our most recent blog post: wolfhaven.org/post/philosoph…

Wolves are typically born late April-early May, so we celebrated the residents of our McCleery Ranch sanctuary with enrichment cupcakes made of peanut butter, yogurt, and blueberries topped with fish oil (yum!) Stay tuned for the Tenino wolves' birthday surprises next week 🥳

Washington’s 2025 minimum wolf count yielded our state’s highest wolf population to date with 270 wolves! The annual count is conducted by Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife and state tribes by surveying known wolf packs. For more information, visit wdfw.wa.gov/publications/0…

American Red Wolf F2215 (Carmin) lives in the back of our Tenino sanctuary with her companion, M2151 (Jasper). Opportunities to photograph her are rare, as she lives in a vegetated enclosure surrounded by visual barriers. #wolfhaven #wolfsanctuary #education #conservation #SAFE

Happy Raven Appreciation Day! There are many animals who call our sanctuary home besides wolves, including a LOT of ravens. Join us in celebrating the alternative side of our sanctuary with this unique design showcasing the wolves' feathered companions bonfire.com/wolf-raven-hav…

It takes a lot of hands and a lot of heart to do the work of our mighty volunteers. From making food for the wolves to leading educational visits to helping events run smoothly, they make it all look easy ⭐️ Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week!

Happy Earth Day! Today is a reminder that small actions - recycling, conserving energy, planting trees, protecting endangered species - add up to real change. Let’s take care of the only home we’ve got 💚 and maybe roll around in the grass too, like Ellie! #wolfhaven #earthday

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week to our amazing group of volunteers! Because Wolf Haven receives no federal or state funding, we depend on this amazing group of people to help us carry out our mission of conserving and protecting wolves and their habitat 💚 #volunteer #wolfhaven

At our McCleery Ranch sanctuary in Montana, female wolf, Thing Two, recently created some enrichment of her own when she playfully scent-rolled on a raven that her or her companion and brother, Thing One, had previously caught in their enclosure. #wolfsanctuary #wolves #wolfhaven

Our partners at North Cascades Institute are hosting a virtual program next Thursday, April 23 to discuss wolf recovery in Washington with WDFW biologists, who will provide updates on current wolf packs and respond to participant questions. Register now at ncascades.org/signup/program…

At our McCleery Ranch sanctuary in Montana, father-daughter duo Jerry & Tess simultaneously enjoy the various “furniture” pieces in their enclosure. We aim to provide every enclosure with a variety of structures & lean-tos to allow for respite from winter snowstorms & summer sun.
