Not Many People Know About This Wolf Sanctuary Right Here In Maine

There is a widely held spiritual belief that the wolf is a symbol of guardianship and loyalty. Because this animal often must make quick decisions, trusting their own instincts, they can teach us to do the same. There’s no better example of guardianship and loyalty than this wolf sanctuary in Maine. They’re working to protect, care for and love these animals and you can visit to learn more about them.

Runs With Wolves Sanctuary, in Limington, has been serving wolves and wolf-hybrids since 1990.

Owner Brenda Foster had a love for animals even when she was young, watching her father rehabilitate small animals such as foxes and raccoons.

Brenda's experience working with wolves one-on-one eventually led her to open her own sanctuary taking in wolves and wolf dogs (also known as hybrids) that had been abused, neglected, or left on their own.

Today, a number of volunteers work with the wolves to ensure that their lives are spent wild and free, getting the care and love that they need.

These volunteers also help lead tours and host groups who come to learn about wolves and the work being done by the sanctuary.

There are currently eight animals at the sanctuary: Lomasi and Anoki, Dakota and Loon, Trouble and Breeze along with Kota and Breeze.

To visit the sanctuary you'll need to make an appointment, but you'll be so glad you did.

There's no better place to see the love of these animals on display.
