Wolf Sanctuary Competitors

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.
