Together, we can ensure a future for the wildlife and wild places we all love.

The Wild Animal Sanctuary is a 10,473 acre refuge for over 700 Lions, Tigers, Bears, Wolves and other large carnivores that have been rescued from illegal or abusive situations. Most come from law enforcement agencies when they discover people trying to keep one of these exotic animals as a pet in their house, apartment, garage or other terrible place.

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.
