Wolf Park supports the ethical ownership of wolfdogs (sometimes referred to as hybrids) in areas where ownership is legally permitted, provided their physical, environmental, cognitive, and emotional needs are met. That being said, there is an increasing need for wolfdog rescue and sanctuary placements.
We do not accept animals directly from the public, however we support the work of wolfdog sanctuaries and rescue organizations across the United States that are dedicated to meeting the unique needs of these animals.
For a list of resources and facilities that may be able to assist, please visit Animal Advocates of Greater Lafayette.
Unfortunately no, we are not a licensed rehabilitation facility and cannot assist with injured animals in need of rehabilitation.
