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 a primitive visitor center that
provides visitors and volunteers with hands-on working experience. Socialized
ambassador wolves travel nationally, offering public education while
stimulating 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, 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 stimulates
and encourages people to connect with wildlife. When people look into
the wild, yellow eyes of a live wolf, respect is gained, along with
an inspiration to get involved in the struggle to sustain and enhance
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 occassionally and
seasonal volunteers/interns are needed. Our full time staff are provided
with minimal shelter, food, and a small stipend.
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, when the wolves at the refuge
have lived out their lives, their teachings will live on. By then, we
hope to have reached enough people through education that there are
no more captive wolves left for us to take in. 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.
