A cool fact: they became the first facility to successfully breed both red wolves and Mexican wolves in captivity. In fact, many of the red wolves in the wild can trace their roots to wolves born at The Endangered Wolf Center.

Over the years, they have created spaces designed to raise wolves to be released into the wild. The wolves designated for release into the wild are given a chance to hunt, an opportunity to acclimate to larger land areas and experience little human interference.

You can tour the Center by reservation and maybe even see one of Dale’s red wolf castings which was donated to them in 2019. They have lots of programs for children including earning scout badges, field trips and campfire howls. Adults can sign up to be a keeper for a day, take a photo tour or a private tour. And if you have never heard a wolf howl, you are in for a once in lifetime experience.
