What a wonderful experience we had visiting Yamnuska Wolfdog sanctuary. We opted for the interactive visit where small groups of 10 or less can experience these magnificent animals close up and personal. You follow a guide (they are all well versed and very enthusiastic with respect to the wolfdogs) who will take you into the pens to visit with the wolfdogs. They tell a most excellent (yes I stole that line) story of the sanctuary, each of the wolfdogs and the ravens that abound the property. It is a sad story unfortunately but for the wolfdogs here, it has a very happy ending. The wolfdogs are a joy to behold and watch and if you are lucky to listen to. An easy drive to get to this sanctuary is well worth the visit.…

Some restrictions for children under 10. Very worthwhile.…

We did the intro tour with our 7 & 9 year olds. Was the highlight of our trip! We listened to the wolfdogs howling for 2 minutes but they were pretty quiet the rest of the time. Some were so friendly coming up to us at the fence. We all enjoyed it so much. They have a nice large dog for the kids to pet which is really nice.…
