Visitors who stay at the campground on the weekend can book tours help feed the animals, joining volunteers and staff as they give the wolves breakfast.

[3] Originally called the Candy Kitchen Rescue Ranch, WSWS was founded in 1991 by Jacque Evans.

[1] In 2003, Candy Kitchen Rescue Ranch was reorganized into the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, and Leyton Cougar became executive director.

Wild Spirit teaches the public about the humane treatment of wild animals, about the relationships between people and other life through respectful, compassionate co-existence, and about humanity’s important role as having the choice to be a part of the change needed to see ecosystems heal and thrive.

Wild Spirit understands that some animals will never want human attention, and we respect that wish by ensuring socialization is never forced.
