Wolf Haven International

We are pleased to announce that Greater Good Charities broke ground today on a new enclosure for Billie & we are thrilled to be a recipient of their incredible philanthropy! We would also like to thank NW Green Clearing & Summit Fence Co. for their excellent preparation work. Stay tuned for updates!

What’s the Layla and Lore update, you ask? Still playing, of course! Chill Lore often starts play on his back, until Layla excites him enough to leap up and face her on his feet. These two make such a dynamic duo! #wolfhaven #sanctuary #education #conservation #wolf #wolves #wolfdogs #friendsforever

#Throwback Wolves grow a heavy coat during the winter, but taking it off for warmer weather is not so easy. One of our late McCleery wolves, Lefty, loved to demonstrate how a scratching post could aid in the shedding process as well as scratch those hard-to-reach places 💚 happy shedding season!

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 #comingsoon #insidelook #specialproject #wolfsanctuary #sanctuarylife #washington

We can pretty much 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.

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! #wildlifeprofessionals #wolfhaven

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 #washington #pnw

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! #wolfhaven

Female Mexican wolf, F1586 (Springer), let out a long and melodious howl one recent evening... take a listen 😊 it doesn't get any better than this! _ #wolfhaven #sanctuary #education #conservation #wolves #trailcam #caughtoncamera #insidelook #howl #mexicanwolf #savinganimalsfromextinction #SAFE

It's Montana Monday! Female McCleery wolf Speedgoat thoroughly enjoyed tearing apart a cardboard box to get to the rib cage hidden inside. Enrichment is important for keeping sanctuary animals curious about their environments and engaged in natural behaviors. #WolfHavenInternational #MontanaMonday

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 #wolfdog #wolves

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 #GFAS #washington

Coyote Norman has settled in so well. 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 #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven

Folks over at Skyview always keep the McCleery wolves in mind during hunting season and provide us with their animal carcasses to feed out to the wolves! Enjoy this clip of male McCleery wolf, Jerry, enjoying his hind quarter piece! 😋 #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven #McCleeryRanch #wolfsanctuary

Mexican wolves M2048 (Rover) and F1586 (Springer) demonstrate why it is so challenging to maintain vegetation in enclosures with wolves. Over the years we have had wolves dig up and drag trees that were 3-4 times their weight in seeming delight. #wolfhaveninternational #wolfhaven #wolves

Happy Valentine’s Day from female gray wolf, Billie, and all of us here at Wolf Haven! _ #wolfhaveninternational #wolfhaven #sanctuary #education #conservation #wolf #wolves #valentinesday #enrichment #heart #animalcare #wolfsanctuary #sanctuarylife #conserveandprotect #outstandingwildlifesanctuary

Three-year-old wolfdog siblings, Valerian and Tarragon, are such a joy to watch on trail cameras. This exuberant duo is constantly at play, chasing and wrestling day and night. Wolf Haven is grateful to be able to give them the open space to frolic 💚 #wolfhaveninternational #sanctuarylife #wolfdogs

Recent trail camera deployments have allowed us to catch after-hours glimpses into how some of our residents choose to rest. Seventeen-year-old M1135 (Cejitos) rolled lazily in his straw, while M2214 (Cedar) and F1945 (Nash) slept peacefully side-by-side. #wolfhaven #SAFE #endangeredspecies

Gray wolf pair, Grayling and Shasta, look particularly striking during an evening sanctuary-wide howl #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven #wolf #wolfdog #wolves #pnw #washington #education #conservation #GFAS #sanctuarylife #wolfsanctuary #howl #howlingwolf #trailcam

It’s a chilly winter day at our sanctuary in Montana, but we hope you enjoy this beautiful howl chorus started by male McCleery wolf, Bridger! #wolfhaven #sanctuary #education #conservation #wolf #wolves #wolfsanctuary #sanctuarylife #ranchlife #howling #newyear #winter #montana

We are very grateful to several local hunters who recently donated their carcasses to Wolf Haven for our residents to enjoy. The meat and bones are their ideal diet, and they always respond with delight. Male gray wolf, Grayling, was particularly thrilled to receive an elk hide! #wolfsanctuary

Our new resident wolfdog, Lore, has a rather unique way of spreading his scent... we call it his moonwalk 😉 #wolfhaven #sanctuary #education #conservation #wolf #wolves #trailcam #trailcamera #insidelook #wolfdogs #wolfdog #wolfsanctuary #sanctuarylife #conserveandprotect #washington #pnw #GFAS

When a person has had their fill of a meal, they often put the rest in the refrigerator to save for later. Wolves will cache food by burying or camouflaging it to thwart scavengers and other hungry carnivores. In this video, American Red Wolf F2189 (Pika) carefully hides a deer carcass.
