Your donations have enhanced the lives of gray wolves at Wolf Haven International in Washington.

We told you Billie's heartbreaking story and asked for your help to expand her enclosure and help find her a new companion, and you stepped up. Along with our partner, Greater Good Charities, new fencing, shelter pens, and platforms were added to enclosures to enhance the lives of the wolf residents.

But that's not all. We also asked for your support to transport two gray wolves to the sanctuary to be companions for Billie and Ellie. Your donations helped cover the cost of the 1,800-mile transport for Nicky and Cerberus.

The wolves have safely arrived and were recently introduced to their new companions - and it couldn't have gone better. The wolves are getting along well and enjoying their wide-open spaces.

Billie, Nicky, Ellie, and Cerberus are forever grateful for your generosity. Wolves are not meant to move through the world alone. They are creatures built for connection, for the quiet communication of a shared glance and a shoulder pressed against a shoulder and the comfort of knowing that someone else is there. Thank you for giving these wolves each other.

Help Save More Wolves

Across the United States, red wolves and Mexican wolves are fighting for survival. With only a few hundred left in the wild combined, every loss is devastating, as it pushes these wolves one step closer to extinction. As infrastructure cuts through their habitats and human activity grows, both species are frequently struck by vehicles while simply trying to navigate their territories.

That’s why, in partnership with conservation organizations and wolf sanctuaries nationwide, Greater Good Charities is both working to protect wild populations by supporting projects like safe wildlife crossings on busy roads, while also improving sanctuary habitats to accommodate more captive-born and injured wolves. 

Donate today to protect endangered wolves and safeguard the places they call home.
