Saint Francis Wolf Sanctuary – currently located in Montgomery, Texas will be moving to their new location on July 11, 2020, to Navasota, Texas.
The sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity whose mission is to rescue and provide a loving, exceptional home to non-releasable wolves and wolfdogs, and to educate the public about these animals by allowing by appointment only visitation. See there visiting page to arrange a visit.
Saint Francis Wolf Sanctuary exists to provide permanent placement to rescued wolves and wolfdogs – most of which were once privately owned as pets. Though each of their animals has their own unique story, the overall theme is often the same. The reality is that a vast majority of animals that end up in sanctuaries have a history of neglect and abuse, and while good, responsible owners certainly do exist, they are often the exception, not the rule. It is for this reason that they feel the need to educate their guests about the many challenges of keeping wolves and wolfdogs in human homes.
Wolves – and therefore wolfdogs – require very specialized care. Even at the Sanctuary, where they do everything they can to give them the quality of care that they deserve, they are not able to replicate what their lives would be like in the wild.
