Do you offer wolf interactions?
At our sanctuary, we prioritize the well-being and natural behaviour of the wolves under our care. For this reason, we do not offer or promote wolf interactions. Wolves are inherently wild animals, and it is vital to respect their space and allow them to thrive in their natural instincts. They are unpredictable by nature, and attempting to force interactions for human enjoyment can cause unnecessary stress for them.
We are dedicated to practicing and promoting ‘ethical tourism’, which means we do not exploit animals for entertainment or profit. Our mission is to create a safe haven for wolves where they can live peacefully without human interference. By visiting our sanctuary, you are supporting conservation efforts that prioritize the animals’ health and respect for their wild nature. We invite you to observe and appreciate these magnificent creatures from a safe distance, knowing that your experience contributes to their protection and well-being.
Do you offer feeding tours?
At our wolf sanctuary, we prioritize the comfort and natural behaviour of the wolves, which is why we do not conduct feeding tours. Wolves are naturally shy and private animals. The presence of unfamiliar people during feeding times can cause them unnecessary stress or disturb their natural instincts.
Feeding is a critical time for wolves, and outside observers may cause them to feel threatened, leading to increased tension or higher levels of aggression within the pack. This can disrupt the social dynamics and harmony among the wolves, which is something we are committed to avoiding.
Our focus is on creating an environment where the wolves can thrive naturally without undue pressure or human interference. By not hosting feeding tours, we ensure the wolves’ well-being remains a top priority, allowing them to maintain their natural behaviors in a peaceful setting.
