ABQjournal Go: Sanctuary Helps Wolves Keep Wild Spirit
By Journal Staff Report

The Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary is a haven for abused, abandoned and captivity-bred wolves and wolf dogs.

The purpose of the sanctuary is to provide wolves and wolf dogs with a permanent and safe place.

The sanctuary is able to rescue a small number of animals including tough cases, or animals that cannot go anywhere else, and provide them with a lifetime of protection.

The sanctuary was founded by artist Jacque Evans in 1991 and is now run by “wolf whisperer” Leyton Cougar.

Cougar, 47, who has been with the sanctuary since 1996, took over running it in 2003.
