Every sanctuary resident is an individual and has unique eating habits and food preferences. Layla and Littlefoot love salmon🐟🐺

Mexican wolf M1458 (Hodari) goes about his day with his tongue on display. Hodari is nine years old, and his oft-protruding tongue is a family trait. Littermates of his at another facility also often have their tasters out as well!

Animal care staff always try to prioritize picking up fresh roadkill to provide a natural diet to our rescue animals. Female McCleery wolf, Jez, happily enjoys her mule deer meal! 🐺

Threats to the Endangered Species Act The developments surrounding H.R. 845 are part of a broader and escalating effort to weaken the Endangered Species Act (ESA) set forth in 1973. At a time when wildlife face unprecedented pressures…

In this new blog post, we detail the threats the ESA faces and what those changes would mean for the endangered species we hold dear.

Folks over at Skyview always keep the McCleery wolves in mind during hunting season and provide us with their animal carcasses to feed out to the wolves! Enjoy this clip of male McCleery wolf, Jerry, enjoying his hind quarter piece! πŸ˜‹

Mexican wolves M2048 (Rover) and F1586 (Springer) demonstrate why it is so challenging to maintain vegetation in enclosures with wolves. Over the years we have had wolves dig up and drag trees that were 3-4 times their weight in seeming delight.

Male wolfdog Luca turns 15 this spring and has developed arthritis. He has always loved lying on his platform, and we wanted to make getting up and down easier for him by creating an additional step. His immediate response to our upgrade? He peed on it.πŸ˜…

We are delighted to announce the arrival of female Mexican wolf, F1586 (Springer), who was transferred from Endangered Wolf Center to be a companion for M2048 (Rover). The new pair are getting along splendidly. We're happy she's here! :)

After a late start, winter is finally making its presence known as a light dusting of snow settles over Wolf Haven's McCleery Ranch sanctuary in Montana!

#ThrowbackThursday There’s something so satisfying about a full body shake in the snow, and male gray wolf, Guy (2010-2025), always gave it his all. His shy nature kept Guy from living on our public visitor route, but he could still be regularly seen via remote camera. Photos by Jessica Pellington.

Did you know that the average lifespan of a wild gray wolf is about 6 to 10 years? But here we have female McCleery wolf, Goat, showing us that 14 is fabulous! #wolfhaven #sanctuary #education #conservation #wolf #sanctuarylife #ranchlife #wolves #conserveandprotect #montana

Three-year-old wolfdog siblings, Valerian and Tarragon, are such a joy to watch on trail cameras. This exuberant duo is constantly at play, chasing and wrestling day and night. Wolf Haven is grateful to be able to give them the open space to frolic πŸ’š #wolfhaveninternational #sanctuarylife #wolfdogs

Recent trail camera deployments have allowed us to catch after-hours glimpses into how some of our residents choose to rest. Seventeen-year-old M1135 (Cejitos) rolled lazily in his straw, while M2214 (Cedar) and F1945 (Nash) slept peacefully side-by-side. #wolfhaven #SAFE #endangeredspecies

We are excited to share that American Red Wolf M2403 (Ghost) was transferred to Wolf Haven in early January to be a companion for F2537 (Cassia). Due to an injury as a very young pup, Ghost is an amputee missing his left rear leg, but he moves well and his health is not impacted.

Did you know we also have a restored glacial outwash prairie? Prairies are a unique ecosystem of their own, and they require regular maintenance, like this prescribed burn we did last August. Caring for wolves means caring for the land, too.

Last week, our McCleery Ranch animal care team had a few special assistants to ensure the wolves got only the highest quality of treats πŸ˜‰ These beef-heart bloodsicles make a tasty enrichment item for wolves and resident dogs alike! #ranchlife #wolfhaven #montana #animalcare #conserveandprotect

Mexican wolf M1429 (Copal) stays close to his meal to fend off the ravens, red-tailed hawks, and eagles who try to snag a bite. Did you know scavengers can claim up to 50% of a wolf's meal? #wolfhaveninternational #wolfhaven #sanctuary #education #conservation #wolf #wolves #GFAS #washington

American Red Wolf matriarch F1945 (Nash) raised twelve pups to adulthood, and, at 13 years old, has earned her right to lounge. This beautiful photo shows how well American Red Wolves can blend into natural environments.

#ThrowbackThursday Today we remember Tecumseh, or T as he was fondly called. T was a shy, sweet guy who arrived at Wolf Haven in 2016 and lived with several different companions over the years - most recently with Layla. He passed away in July 2025 at the distinguished age of 13 years old.
