As a Tour Guide Coordinator for the past several years, I have enjoyed conducting many of our conservation based educational presentations. Our tours are an essential part of reaching our supporters and teaching the ecological value of wolves being an apex predator and the role they play in the natural world. I have also had the rare opportunity of caring for and interacting with all the resident wolves, and being able to develop a relationship with these amazing animals. This experience has impacted my life tremendously and I am very grateful to be part of their lives. In 2017 White Wolf Sanctuary changed directorship and as a non-profit organization we rely on and greatly appreciate the donations and wolf adoption sponsorships, from our supporters that allow us to provide for the resident wolves and continue our cause and mission to support wolf conservation for their wild counterparts. White Wolf Sanctuary is very special place and I highly recommend it. Nichola Chudzik
Review from Guidestar
Lois is amazing, and truly committed to helping these wolves. I learned SO much from my time there! Seeing these wolves is an exceptional treat! Thanks for everything Lois, and all you who volunteer here!!
As a volunteer at White Wolf Sanctuary for 4 1/2 years, I know how much this non profit would benefit from extra recognition and funds! The Sanctuary is home to ten Arctic wolves, all born in captivity and rescued from less than wonderful living situations. They cannot be released into the wild and this is their home for life. The director, LoisTulleners, makes sure that each of the wolves is well cared for. and they are her #1 priority. The wolves are in 5 groups, one male and female to each group. As breeding isn't the business of the Sanctuary, they are separated during February which is the normal breeding month. The enclosures where the wolves live are quite large (some many acres), each has a house for escaping the most extreme weather, ponds for the summer heat, and the wolves can be moved from enclosure to enclosure for 'enrichment' so they don't become bored with the same scenery day after day. I volunteer one day a week at the Sanctuary and have interaction with all the wolves, some more than others. The work is hard and often less than glamorous but necessary for the care of the animals. The wolves 'give back' in their response to visits at the fence with them and they are wonderful. As a non profit, the only money comes from donations, the adopt a wolf program, and tours, which drop considerably during the winter months. My life has been greatly impacted by my time at White Wolf Sanctuary. Carol Gladwin
