Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

From 2020 to 2024, we accepted 80% (20% from other domestic breeds were referred to other rescues) of the animals and 100% of lives saved. We are a private open rescue group founded by the people using our expenses, dedicated to helping and assisting the wild animals in this fast-paced, moving world.



We focus on Wolves and Wolfdogs Rescue only unless an urgent situation needs our immediate attention, such as aggressive, injury-causing personalities that are in danger of being euthanized regardless of the breed. We will then help the owner transfer their animal care to her rescues or fosters for all other breeds.

By working with law enforcement, the state legislature, and government officials, we have passed the law and relisted endangered wildlife in the protection category in most states.

Also, rehome and assist nonprofit and government entities in capturing, rehabbing, releasing, or relocating distressed wildlife.
