How many canids does Wolf Haven currently care for?
As of 03/08, we have 49 wolves, 4 wolf-dog hybrids, and 2 coyotes in our care, most of whom are permanent residents. However, Wolf Haven is involved in two federal captive breeding programs for highly endangered Mexican gray and red wolves. These programs are a collaborative effort between the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). All wolves in the program are on loan from the USFWS, but are managed in cooperation with, and under the auspices of the AZA’s Species Survival Plan (SSP). We presently have 13 Mexican gray wolves and 4 red wolves.
