Trip to the wolf sanctuary




Janna has an amazing Daisy Scout leader. Everything they do has some way to earn a badge. In her short time, they have done some wonderful events. Most recently we went to a wolf sanctuary out in Montgomery Texas (see link for details). It was so cool, I had to add a few videos & photos to share. For various reasons none of these graceful animals will ever be allowed to return to the wild. Therefore, all the wolves are rescued and brought to this place to live out their lives in peace.

The girls would line up at the fence and howl to get the wolves to howl back at them. As you can see the wolves were accommodating.

On Saturdays all the wolves are walked. It gives them a chance to stretch out and roam. Their cages are good sized, but this definitely gives them a chance to exercise a bit more. Three volunteers will take two wolves out at a time. One of the volunteers wore perfume and it seems that the wolf, Mystery decided she liked. Check out this video. They are spraying perfume onto the fence then the wolf rubs it on herself.



They have guides who can give you all the details of each wolf and adults are able to get a little closer. There are two nine month old wolf cubs joining them soon - we'll be heading back once they are there. We were able to meet the lovely woman who owns all the land and lives there. She told us some great stories and we had an amazing time.
