We are thrilled to share the news that the AZ Game and Fish Department and NM Department of Wildlife released the new Southwest Mexican wolf count, and there were 319 wolves counted in 2025 - up from 286 in 2024! We are encouraged to see this species survive and thrive! #wolfhaven #mexicanwolves
It’s #ThrowbackThursday! Today we remember Willow (2013-2023), a gorgeous female black wolf with the mannerisms of a mischievous pup. We’re not sure what life comes next, but we are sure Willow is as energetic, playful, and fun-loving as she was in this one. #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven #wolf
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Wolves & Wine! Together, supporters raised nearly $320,000 to advance the work of Wolf Haven International.
We are grateful to the sponsors, donors, volunteers, and community members who made the evening possible.

Some pictures are just perfect, and we grabbed this frame of three Mexican wolf brothers from a remote camera video.

M2403 (Ghost) recently arrived at Wolf Haven from Zoo Tampa in Florida, and he is settling in very well. Animal care staff have been watching him closely on trail cameras and discovered his meticulous eye for comfort in his shelter pen.

Having walked by a trail camera placed on the outside of her enclosure for several days, F1586 (Springer) suddenly decides she has had enough of being watched!

Our residents have been busy creating a fantastic work of art that will be unveiled at this Saturday’s Wolf Haven’s annual Wolves & Wine fundraiser. We hope to see you there! 🎨🐺

Just like at our Tenino sanctuary, our animal care team at McCleery Ranch uses trail cameras to monitor and observe our more cautious residents while minimizing disturbance to their everyday lives. Here’s a stunning look at Tracer, a seven-year-old male wolf residing at McCleery Ranch. 🐺 #WolfHaven
Jez’s predominantly white coat reveals that she had been scent rolling, and by the looks of the color it was likely pretty stinky!

Coyote Norman has settled in so well. He frequently raises his voice to join sanctuary howls - and to let his general opinions be known. Norman and Hope have developed a wonderful bond, and his presence has made her more relaxed and playful.

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! 🐺

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! 😋

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.

Happy Valentine’s Day from female gray wolf, Billie, and all of us here at Wolf Haven!

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.😅

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!

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
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
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 😉 These beef-heart bloodsicles make a tasty enrichment item for wolves and resident dogs alike! #ranchlife #wolfhaven #montana #animalcare #conserveandprotect
Gray wolf pair, Grayling and Shasta, look particularly striking during an evening sanctuary-wide howl #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven #wolf #wolfdog #wolves #pnw #washington #education #conservation #GFAS #sanctuarylife #wolfsanctuary #howl #howlingwolf #trailcam
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
Sunsets at our McCleery Ranch sanctuary in Montana never get old... #WolfHavenInternational #WolfHaven #wolf #wolfdog #wolves #montana #education #conservation #GFAS #sanctuarylife #sunset #outstandingwildlifesanctuary #wolfsanctuary #McCleery #sunsetview
The holidays tend to be a busy time for many of us. Even Billie had to multi-task after receiving a holiday treat...

It’s a chilly winter day at our sanctuary in Montana, but we hope you enjoy this beautiful howl chorus started by male McCleery wolf, Bridger! #wolfhaven #sanctuary #education #conservation #wolf #wolves #wolfsanctuary #sanctuarylife #ranchlife #howling #newyear #winter #montana
