Wolf Haven International

It’s #ThrowbackThursday! Today we remember Willow (2013-2023), a gorgeous female black wolf with the mannerisms of a mischievous pup. We’re not sure what life comes next, but we are sure Willow is as energetic, playful, and fun-loving as she was in this one. #WolfHaven #wolf

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Wolves & Wine! Together, supporters raised nearly $320,000 to advance the work of Wolf Haven International. We are grateful to the sponsors, donors, volunteers, and community members who made the evening possible. #WolvesAndWine

Some pictures are just perfect, and we grabbed this frame of three Mexican wolf brothers from a remote camera video. #wolfhaveninternational #wolfhaven #mexicanwolf #wolf #wolves #wolfdog #wolfsanctuary #conserveandprotect

M2403 (Ghost) recently arrived at Wolf Haven from Zoo Tampa in Florida, and he is settling in very well. Animal care staff have been watching him closely on trail cameras and discovered his meticulous eye for comfort in his shelter pen. #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven #wolf

Wolf Haven's annual fundraiser, Wolves & Wine, is just a FEW DAYS AWAY and today we want to give a BIG shoutout to Gold Paw Sponsor Talking Cedar Brewery for their generous support of the wolves & their wonderful donations of high-quality Washington beers to this year's event 🐺

Having walked by a trail camera placed on the outside of her enclosure for several days, F1586 (Springer) suddenly decides she has had enough of being watched! #wolfhaveninternational #WolfHaven #outstandingwildlifesanctuary #endangeredspecies #sanctuaryresidents #trailcam #pnw

Our residents have been busy creating a fantastic work of art that will be unveiled at this Saturday’s Wolf Haven’s annual Wolves & Wine fundraiser. We hope to see you there! 🎨🐺 #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven #wolvesandwine2026 #event #fundraiser #makeadifference #donate

Just like at our Tenino sanctuary, our animal care team at McCleery Ranch uses trail cameras to monitor and observe our more cautious residents while minimizing disturbance to their everyday lives. Here’s a stunning look at Tracer, a seven-year-old male wolf residing at the ranch

It’s with great sadness that we report the passing of M1135 (Cejitos). Cejitos was born at Wolf Haven in April 2008 and lived his almost-18 years here. His fiery resilience and noble bearing are dearly missed. Photo by Gelane Clements #WolfHavenInternational #wolf #Mexicanwolf

Jez’s predominantly white coat reveals that she had been scent rolling, and by the looks of the color it was likely pretty stinky! Photos by Mark Thompson - #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven #wolf #wolfdog #wolves #montana #education #conservation #GFAS #sanctuarylife #scentroll

Coyote Norman has settled in so well since arriving. He frequently raises his voice to join sanctuary howls - and to let his general opinions be known. Norman and Hope have developed a wonderful bond, and his presence has made her more relaxed and playful. #TrailCamSunday #Coyote

@wolfthehunter It was determined from genetic testing that the McCleery wolves were not suitable for breeding. This page goes into more detail and includes a link to the genomic analysis. I hope this answers your question! wolfhaven.org/sanctuary/mccl…

@wolfhavenint You never did post anything about your DNA test results on the McCleery wolves. if you did I didn't see it.

Animal care staff always try to prioritize picking up fresh roadkill to provide a natural diet to our rescue animals. Female McCleery wolf, Jez, happily enjoys her mule deer meal! 🐺 #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven #wolf #wolfdog #wolves #montana #education #conservation

Every sanctuary resident is an individual and has unique eating habits and food preferences. Littlefoot and Layla love salmon! 🐟🐺 #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven #wolf #wolfdog #wolves #GFAS #sanctuarylife #favoritefoods #BehindTheScenes #wolfsanctuary

Mexican wolf M1458 (Hodari) goes about his day with his tongue on display. Hodari is nine years old, and his oft-protruding tongue is a family trait. Littermates of his at another facility also often have their tasters out as well! PC: Jessica Pellington #wolfhaven #mexicanwolf
