These people are horribly disorganized, inexcusably misinformed about wolves, and they disregard visitors who pay a minimum of $25 a piece for a tour. Our "tour" consisted of sitting around for the entire hour while we waited for Tanya to get her act together. Ultimately, she went into the house halfway through our "tour" and never came back out, while... More

A real honest to goodness wolf. And they even had one that played Jacob in the Twilight movies. The sanctuary is a great place to visit and I plan on continuing to support them through donations because they really need them. It's a great cause. I visited there when I stayed at Flip Flop Ranch which is a really neat... More

Why they aren't doing a reality show about these caring and interesting people who are devoting their lives to wolf rescue, rehabilitation and relocation, instead of 'wild hogs' or 'obese chefs' is beyond me. This is my first time of any adventure like this. I really was not expecting anything all that interesting or enlightening, but boy was I wrong.... More

We read about the wolf sanctuary on the internet and thought it would be fun to go and see the wolves. Shortly after arriving our excitement turned to complete disappoint. The wolves were in very small cages. They had no shade and no comfortable place to lay. Some of the wolves were in such small cages they couldn't even get... More

My friend and I visited Wolf Mountain, as seeing a Wolf up close and personal is something that we have both longed to do. We were not disappointed at all seeing these beautiful animals, being able to touch them, look into their amazing eyes, and knowing that they are very well taken care of. The staff were very friendly, answered... More

Wolf Mountain Sanctuary is a sanctuary for wolves who can no be released to the wild. The owner is Tonya Littlewolf - a remarkable woman of Apache decent who has dedicated her life to helping these magnificent beings. She and her family give their lives in service of these animals. The most amazing thing is the up-close and personal opportunity... More

Love this place. It allows you to interact with several of the wolves and learn so much from them on how to get along with others. Staff is very informed about each animal and educate all that want to know more.

Four of us went for an afternoon; we brought red meat but we shouldn't have had it cut up as small we did. Keep it in large chunks and make sure you bring about 15 pieces. Don't wear sunglasses, hats, carry a purse, backpack etc. Being able to pet a wolf was awesome!
