Red Wolf Sanctuary

Red Wolf Sanctuary is home to a variety of native, North American species.  The animals that live at the Sanctuary are permanent residents due to previous human interaction or life-altering injuries.

​

Many of our animals have been rescued from unfortunate circumstances that were dangerous to their health and well-being, as well as the safety of those who were creating those circumstances.

 

While ever changing, the permanent residents of the Sanctuary currently include:
 

• 6 grey wolves (Canis lupus)

• 9 coyotes (Canis latrans)

• 24 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes)

• 2 grey foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus)

• 1 arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus)

• 4 bobcats (Lynx rufus)

• 1 elk (Cervus canadensis)

• 1 black bear (Ursus americanus)

• 2 southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans)

• 1 American mink (Neogale vison)

• 2 opossums (Didelphis virginiana)

• Various raptors (bald eagles; great horned, barred, and screech owls; red tailed hawks; sometimes broad winged and red shouldered hawks)

​

The Sanctuary also rehabs hundreds of animals every year, from sick and injured individuals to orphaned babies.

 If you have come across wildlife who need help, please give us a call!  (812) 438-2306

Please call us before attempting to handle any wildlife, even babies.  Often times a baby appears to be abandoned when they really aren't.  This leads to many babies being taken from the wild when they don't need rescued.
