My daughter chose to go here last year June 20th 2022 for her 21st birthday . It was incredible. The owner telling us the story behind the sanctuary , meeting all the animals rehabilitated here and then the wolves . Truly a life changing experience ! I fell in love w the turtle at the very beginning . She said he’d been so neglected his shell was rotting when they got him . My daughter actually cried when she locked eyes w the owl . And the oldest female white wolf we took pictures with actually tried to play w my daughter . She rarely does that to guests our guide said. We planned on coming back this year hoping to see some wolf cubs and then I saw an article saying she may have to shut it down . We’re devastated for them .

Most amazing experience of my life!! Totally worth the money and the travel. The staff are so knowledgeable and take the time to explain each of the animals to you and how to safely interact with them. There's no way I'd ever pet a wolf or an albino skunk if I never found this place, so I am so grateful that I did! It's awesome that this is an actual Sanctuary where the animals are kept safe and can live out their lives being cared for. 10/10 recommend to go here at least once in your life!

Highly recommend going. Dave is so passionate about what he does. You go on a small hike with two wolves. You are first introduced to them and they let you warm up to the two wolves. Then after a fun photo op you get to see the rest of the animals. And you get some play time with the pups. Which was the highlight.

While watching a tic toc live today the poor skunk was trying to get out of the cage and the woman grabed it by the tail and pulled it back in the cage! This is disturbing if this is a normal practice to get animals to do what you want. And more amazing this is a animal rescue shame on her !

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I absolutely would. The staff are sweet and obviously love what they do, all purchases in the gift shop and from Air BNB go right to the reserve, and best of all you get to pet some wolves. Wonderful experience, I would love to do it again.

An extraordinary place to visit. If you care about animals and are curious about wolves, this is the place to visit. The people who work here are amazing in their love and care of all the animals, plus their knowledge of the animals. Taking a tour is an experience you will never forget. Saving wolves is so important. They are creatures that define so much about life.

Absolutely amazing experience! I can not speak high enough of this place. I've always wanted to see wolves, and better yet, I got to interact with them! The experience was well worth the drive. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly!

Dave and his incredible staff have done an outstanding job creating a sanctuary for these beautiful animals. The love Dave has for these wolves as well as the other animals is so evident. Not only is it an educational experience but a once in a lifetime opportunity to see what Dave, his family and staff have done to protect a vital part of our wildlife. Can't wait to go back and visit our new friends.

This is by far one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. We were introduced to around 8 wolves, a giant ant eater, and so much more. Dave and his staff run an amazing sanctuary for some of the most amazing animals. I highly recommend visiting.You do need a reservation to go though so dont just drop by. Still it is worth it. And you get to help support an amazing place.
