Welcome to Mission: Wolf
Mission: Wolf is a solar-powered nature center that provides a sanctuary for unwanted captive-born wolves and horses. We offer experiential education to inspire the public to become stewards of the earth.
Since 1988 we have provided lifelong care for 125 wolves and 25 horses, facilitated experiential wolf education with over 1 million people and preserved over 400 acres of pristine subalpine habitat. Our community of volunteers from around the world invites you to visit us.
What We Do
Mission:Wolf is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational wolf sanctuary in the remote Colorado mountains. Learn more about what we do here.

Acres of alpine habitat protected
We have nearly completed Phase 1 of our land conservation project, with over 400 acres of pristine land around our sanctuary protected.
Our Mission
Mission: Wolf’s ultimate goal is to render our facility obsolete and see wolves back in the wild instead of behind fences. To that end, we rescue wolves and wolf-dogs, conserve wild land, and offer extensive education programs to support scientific wild wolf reintroduction.
