Wish List Items
Every quarter, Wolf Haven’s animal care team updates our Amazon and Chewy wish lists. All of the items on these lists provide our resident wolves and wolfdogs with quality care and enrichment, and help our team to do their jobs as best they can. The outpouring of support we receive from people who purchase these items always astounds us! These items are usually sent to Wolf Haven anonymously, but if you would like to receive recognition and a tax receipt for your in-kind gift, please email membership@wolfhaven.org.
