He has been very passionate in supporting the wolf and wolf hybrid’s move to the new campus in the Red Feather Lakes area off of County Road 74E. Although the move was initially met with resistance because the nearby residents feared a noise problem, the residents seem to now describe the wolves communicating as a song on the wind.
The wolf sanctuary houses domestically bred wolves and wolf hybrids rescued from unlivable conditions, such as fur farms, roadside zoos and humane shelters. These wolves and wolf hybrids, because they are domestically bred, can never be reintroduced to the wild. To assure that the wolf sanctuary does not contribute to the ongoing problem of domestic wolves and wolf hybrids, all wolf residents have been neutered and spayed. The wolf residents are then paired with a lifetime companion and housed in a secure 1-2 acre enclosure. They all receive the very best of veterinary care and nutrition, provided by the staff, volunteers and CSU Veterinary College. The Wolf Sanctuary is supported 100% by private donations, if you’d like to learn more about your new neighbors, please visit https://wolfsanctuary.com/.

Six wild gray wolves from Oregon, have been released in the North Park area. Hopefully they will thrive and join up with the existing small packs that have come down from Yellowstone and taken up residence in the Walden area. A wild wolf can travel 30 miles in a day. They have already been spotted in the Larimer River Valley. Expect to see or hear wild wolves in the near future! Please keep in mind that wolves, as an apex predator, contribute to a healthy ecosystem. Let’s all welcome our new neighbors!  |
