AT WOLF CONNECTION We believe that the deep and conscious understanding of our relationships with animals and the environment is paramount to our development as strong individuals, high-functioning teams, productive societies that embrace diversity and equity, and thus as a sustainable civilization on this planet. The Wolf Connection sanctuary is the real-time, real-space lab where this belief is explored and tested. PROGRAMS & SERVICES Wolf Connection’s Wolf Therapy® is an education and empowerment program with the sanctuary's wolves as the centerpiece. With the help of these magnificent animals, humans from all walks of life learn to connect more fully with themselves and their environment, and understand their unique role in a human “pack” or community.

Located near Lake Superior in Northeastern Minnesota, Wolf Ridge ELC is a nationally respected and accredited K-12 school and residential learning center. We offer educational programs that focus on natural and cultural history, outdoor skills, team-building, and personal growth.

Wolf Haven International is a nationally recognized wolf sanctuary that has rescued and provided a lifetime home for over 300 displaced, captive-born animals since 1982 under the mission “to conserve and protect wolves and their habitat.” Many of the wolves and wolfdogs that are relocated to Wolf Haven come from private ownership, while others come from zoos, roadside attractions, and other unfortunate situations. Our wolves are given exceptional care, quality food, a variety of enrichment items, and progressive medical treatment. We also offer educational programs about wolves and other wildlife, promote wolf restoration in historical ranges, and work to protect wild wolves and their habitat. Wolf Haven is accredited by both the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and the American Sanctuary Association.
