Wolf Haven has a fresh new look 👀 for the past 44 years, we've grown tremendously. Today, we're excited to share a full rebrand that represents the vibrant nature of Wolf Haven’s sanctuary residents, as well as the grounded & earthy qualities of the work we accomplish together

While most of our residents ignore the trail cams we use to monitor their health and behavior, wolfdog Mesa is quick to notice even the smallest change to his environment. In this clip, Mesa and his companion, gray wolf Sierra, can be seen inspecting this camera right away!

A huge thank you to our volunteers for preparing some tasty enrichment treats! Biodegradable paper bags filled with goodies were topped with sardines and bison tripe, ensuring named bags went to their specific resident. Our SAFE animals received bison tripe and elk bones instead!

Rest periods at our Tenino sanctuary provide a unique sneak peek into wolf social structures. As this family group of Mexican wolf brothers demonstrates, downtime often shifts into gentle play, where even small interactions help reinforce trust and strengthen bonds. 💚 #wolfhaven

This male pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) can be seen making the most of our native grasses. We hope to continue providing high quality habitat for the many local ungulate species! 🌿 🐾 #mccleerymonday #wolfhaven #pronghorn

Today we honor the legacy of Mexican wolf M1066 Moss (2007-2022). After years as a dedicated father to his 2015 litter with F1099 (Betty), he enjoyed a peaceful Wolf Haven retirement under the firs with F1341 (Sedona). He holds a special place in our hearts and is dearly missed💚

We love being able to capture quiet, peaceful moments here at our Tenino sanctuary 🐺 While a wide-open mouth can look fierce to some, this big yawn from male Mexican wolf, M1458 (Hodari), is pure relaxation. Drop your best caption for Hodari in the comments below! #wolfhaven

Our nightly raven roost is kicking back up at the sanctuary! 🐦‍⬛ From fall through spring, thousands of ravens descend on McCleery Ranch each evening to pack our posts and wires. GPS data even shows birds flying all the way from Yellowstone National Park and back in one day!

Cerberus is our newest sponsorable wolf, and he’s settling into sanctuary retirement wonderfully with some impressive howls! Cerberus is currently in a visitor-route enclosure with spunky wolfdog Ellie, who helps him gain more confidence every day.
