I haven't really thought of it that way. It seems that when you go in there they are just a bunch of dogs. They've been around humans and are used to people interacting with them.

There is something about them though, that is different than dogs that i've noticed.
I don't normally let dogs lick my face, I think it's gross. But the wolves? I let them coat my face if they want to.
It might be just some sort of sign that they are accepting you and you want them to accept you so you don't mind if they bathe your face. but with a normal dog you don't try as hard to get them to like you, or hope as much that they'll like you

There are quite a few differences in the cages between dogs and wolves, but I truly wouldn't call them, "wild animals" because they've been around humans much of their lives.
I feel very comfortable with the ones i'm allowed to go in. THe place is a very relaxed environment and I look forward to it all week. I always say, "I'm addicted to the wolves!"

There is a couple that was researching and watching over a family of wolves in Wyoming, and in the end for the safety of the wolves, they transferred the entire family to Montana. Ever heard of this couple? I can't remember their names. Anyhow....they showed footage of just getting acquainted with the wolves by sitting about 100 feet or more away with their legs-crossed and quietly watching and photographing them (and filming). They showed the wolves different personalities, which was amazing to see for yourself on the film. One by one, these wolves would introduce themselves to them by coming over and sitting about 10 feet away from them, slowly getting a little closer each time they came to visit, and slowly allowing them to touch each of the wolves, and then became friends over months, and in the end....they said their lick was absolutely a sign of their love and trust for that person, and another way of identifying you, along with smell. They are truly intelligent, magestic, and family-oriented. Do you know where they have been rescuing these wolves from, parts of the country?

Haven't heard of that couple or that story, but I believe it. I'm not sure where these wolves have been rescued from, but probably southwest Florida and other parts of Florida

Here are some wolves actually up for adoption.

I hope they don't let just anyone adopt these wolves....or they might end up
right back in the sanctuary.

Just thought you might enjoy this T140. (And then again, maybe not )

J/W but how different are wolves and dogs?

Like what would be different about them if a dog or a wolf lived a house?

[y2cragie]

The first thing you have to remember xx-bronco-xx Wolves are wild animals, not domesticated like dogs. They will be far more independantly minded and at times difficult to control. An old friend used to own one, he required so much attention and exercise it was amazing this guy could keep up. If this animal was left alone too long he would start to tear the place to shreds.

They're so pretty! The red one's I think I like the best, their coloring is awesome.


Thinking about it, wolves are such majestic, beautiful, intelligent, independent animal... You just can't help but admire their beauty and intelligence and hate the guts of anyone who would abuse them!!!

And another thing is, wolves are generally bigger as well. I met two six month old puppies... They definitely look full grown and could topple me in a heart-beat, and do so on occasion in good spirit and hopes for a bit of fun. You go in there, you come out with dirt in your teeth

ALL wild animals, whether they're 'domesticated' or not, are dangerous!
It's within them......and when cornered or worse, they'll strike out, like their ancestors would.
140, have they ever warned you about locking eyes with the wolves?

An old roomie of mine had a dog that was part golden/part great pyrenees. You'd think being part golden, it'd be loving and docile. And for the most part, it was....until it got around bones and/or raw meat...then you'd best be on your guard.
He ended up nipping a child, and was put down.

I would love to have the oppertunity to work with such beautiful animals! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the story and awesome pictures!
