wolf sanctuary

Protected pack habitat

A wolf sanctuary is a facility that provides permanent refuge for wolves that cannot survive in the wild—typically animals rescued from captivity, injured in the wild, or bred in failed exotic pet situations.

Unlike zoos, sanctuaries prioritize the animals' welfare over public display, though many offer educational tours: We visited a wolf sanctuary in Colorado.
