My little sister and I were so impressed by the facility and the staff. This is a beautiful sanctuary and you can tell the wolf dogs are well cared for. The staff are knowledgeable and care about the information they are teaching their guests. We got the intro tour because my sister is too young for the more interactive one, but we were not disappointed! We loved seeing the wolf dogs up close and got some beautiful photos of them.
