My fiance and I had a really great experience at the wolf sanctuary! We both love wolves and this was our first time seeing them up close. Really beautiful animals and the sanctuary is well cared for. We don't normally visit zoos because of the ethics involved, but we are happy to support sanctuary's such as WWS that promote wildlife conservation and education, and aren't profiting off breeding. We didn't pet any wolves, nor did we expect to. To confirm, this is not a Carole Baskin/ Tiger King type situation.
