We took the tour today. It was very informative and interesting. They currently have 7 wolves at the sanctuary. The wolves are never made to do anything and they get a chance to change enclosures every couple of months. Some enclosures are over 2 acres. Everyone should have a change to experience this! Nicola was our guide and she was amazing!

Reviews
We had a terrific time today at the sanctuary. It is clear that the volunteers care a great deal about the wolves. As we walked to meet each of the wolves it was obvious that they love their caretakers. Our favorite one was Sakarri. She was very friendly, followed us along the fence as we walked by and loved being rubbed. We were told that the girls love having their bellies rubbed but the volunteers arms aren't quite long enough to do that. She smiled the whole time we were by her enclosure. She is one of the oldest wolves at the sanctuary. We were told that Archidamus a Grey Wolf was rescued after being tethered to a pole his whole life. Kent and the other man on our tour were told that Archidamus has issues with men, likely because of his hitsory. We saw Archidamus lying on the porch totally chill. The volunteer was quite surprised by his behavior telling Arc she was impressed by his behavior. I said it must be because the men have a good aura. White Wolf Sanctuary is a must visit if you are in the area of Waldport, Oregon. They have tours every day of the week except Fridays. #whitewolfsanctuary #wolvesrock
Yes you meet across the street in a sketch situation and yes it feels like Jurassic park at first…. Breathtaking and worth the time and energy, the instructor was so cool and my 12 yr old was encouraged to participate. You definitely need to experience this journey! Lots of time with the wolfs that wanted to see us! these beauties are more than worth saving in this wicked world!
