Last week, USFWS announced that four litters of pups were born in the Eastern North Carolina Red Wolf Population this year. We're thrilled to share that one litter was produced by Wolf Haven-born M2191 (Finch)! Featured in the video are his mate F2503 and five of the pair's adorable pups.
Tucked back in the far corner of our Tenino sanctuary are two Mexican wolves living their best lives. Eight-year-old M1669 (Sirius) & 11-year-old F1361 (Sedona) are an affectionate pair who enjoy good natured play. Despite only having three legs, Sirius is agile, fast, and holds his own in a tussle!

We recently moved one of our cameras to Mexican wolves M1429 (Copal) and F2054 (Zinnia)'s enclosure. This pair is one of the spunkiest in the sanctuary. Copal regularly taunts his neighbors & gets the whole sanctuary going in a howl. Zinnia is not as vocal, but is the perfect high-energy counterpart

#WolfAwarenessWeek While we've seen fewer wolves being bred & sold in the pet trade over the years, the market for wolfdogs is still substantial. Due to their unsuitability in home environments, many owners must relinquish their animals. Learn more at wolfhaven.org/education/materials/wolfdogs

#WolfAwarenessWeek While there were famous reintroductions of gray wolves to Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho in 1995 and 1996, many states saw wolves return on their own. In WA, OR, and CA, wolves migrated in from Canada and from post-reintroduction populations in MT, ID, & WY.

We're excited to announce that our new resident coyote, Norman, is officially available for sponsorship! Norman's a large, slender coyote with big ears who was orphaned at just 6 weeks old in California. Visit shop.wolfhaven.org/products/sponsor-a-wolf to support his care in our sanctuary 💚

Visitors to our sanctuary know there's one resident who must have the final word in every group howl. American Red Wolf F1945 (Nash) has a voice that sometimes goes on… and on... we liken Nash’s howls to a record caught in a loop, but suspect she's just making sure all are aware of her greatness.

Many supporters recently donated items from our Amazon & Chewy wishlists, and we want to thank you for the joy you brought the sanctuary residents 😊 Little Foot was elated by the donated pheasant scent in particular! We sprinkled this unique enrichment on sticks and tossed them into her enclosure.

For most of the animals living in our sanctuary, forming a bond with a companion is the greatest enrichment of all. Wolfdogs Luca and Little Foot are an excellent example of how important connection is to canids - this happy pair is often found resting together on their platform. 💜🐺#wolfsanctuary

What better way to greet the day than a sleepy howl by one of five Mexican wolf brothers who live together in a playful family group! While the restof his siblings snoozed nearby, this guy let out some big, long, lazy vocalizations 😊 #wolfhaven #wolfsanctuary #trailcam #caughtoncamera #howlingwolf

We are so grateful to hunters in the community who donate their post-butcher ungulate scraps and bones to the wolves. The entire sanctuary recently received elk from a local family. To discuss donating scrap and bones from your hunts, please call (360) 264-4695 x226. The wolves would be delighted 😊

Not only is Wolf Haven home to our wolf, wolfdog, and coyote sanctuary residents, but the property is also rich with wildlife - including bears, cougars, bobcats, coyotes, elk, and an array of birds. Professional birders counted 59 species in a single morning this year, like the pileated woodpecker!

At the end of June, we sadly lost Tecumseh, who was known to most of us as “T.” He came to Wolf Haven in 2016 and had the widest open-mouthed grin under a distinctive dark nose stripe. He was very shy, but sometimes showed his goofy side to animal care during morning rounds 💜

Happy Red Wolf Day! This year marks the 38th anniversary of the first release of American Red Wolves back into the wild in eastern North Carolina on September 14, 1987. To commemorate, we are showcasing F2537 (Cassia), who was born at Wolf Haven in 2023 through collaboration with the SAFE program 💚🐺

During a routine enclosure check, staff discovered a large hornet’s nest. They are known to be protective of their nests, and given they built one at wolf height, we knew we needed it removed by our friends at Cascadia Venom. For more information about their work, visit cascadiavenomcollection.com
