What is Mission:Wolf
Education is our purpose. We currently care for up to 40 captive-born wolves and wolf-dog crosses. The refuge supports hands-on educational experiences for volunteers and visitors. Our visitor center provides educational resources for field trips and school groups. Socialized ambassador wolves travel nationally, offering public education while inspiring people to care about and respect nature.

What Mission:Wolf Does
Our first priority is the needs of the wolves--food, water, living space, companionship, and privacy. Fence building is a year round project. The second task is to provide education. Intimate wolf programs are offered at the refuge to visitors. In the fall and spring, the traveling ambassador wolves reach thousands of people from coast to coast. Our message inspires and encourages people to connect with wildlife. Experience has taught us that the stare of a live wolf instills respect for wild things and inspires people to get involved in the conservation and preservation of wild ecosystems.

How Mission:Wolf Does It
A volunteer staff operates and oversees life at the refuge. The staff is comprised of dedicated people who are committed to making a difference with their lives. Permanent staff positions open up occasionally and seasonal volunteers and interns are needed. Our full-time staff are provided with food and housing.

In The End…
The Mission:Wolf refuge serves as an example that illustrates the mistakes of humankind. Ultimately, Mission:Wolf is a jail for creatures that belong in the wild. Our hope is that one day with education and understanding wild wolves and people will co-exist and that sanctuaries for captive wolves will become obsolete. We will then be able to take down the fences, haul out most of the buildings, and Mission:Wolf will become a nature preserve where people can come to see wild wolves.
