Taking care of our animals is a daily commitment we make…24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With your help, we can impact their quality of life at every stage of their lives. They depend on us and your generosity to give them what they need to thrive so that we may continue to share their amazing stories with the community. Annual Gifts to Wolf Connection are the consistent resource we rely on to care for our animals, maintain the facilities, and provide a beautiful place our community can enjoy and our at-risk youth can learn and get ready to live a full life.
Your special gift can impact these fundamental areas:
- Wolf rescue and rehabilitation: Every year thousands of wolves and wolfdogs are bred and sold as house pets in this country. The vast majority of those animals end up euthanized or in a rescue facility by the time they are three years old. If they are lucky, some of those animals come to live with us for life … some arrive in OK condition, some not so much, but our team of dedicated animal lovers will give them the best physical, psychological, and emotional rehabilitation treatment available and nourish them back to health and happiness no mater how long it takes … your contribution makes this process possible.
- Life-time housing and behavioral training: After the initial rehabilitation, our animals will spend the rest of their lives here. Our on-site veterinary center provides optimal medical care by a veterinarian staff and skilled medical team, with regular medical and dental check-ups for all animal residents
- Education Programming: Over 30,000 school children visit us annually to learn about preservation of our unique desert environments and the wildlife that inhabits them

Gift Planning
You can never go wrong supporting a worthy organization that helps animals or children. At Wolf Connection we do both!
Now, some trusting people may think that because they shared their noble intention to leave a portion of their estate to charity, or they wrote it down and signed it on a piece of paper they are keeping in their safe, their wishes will be respected and carried out once they transition into their next cycle of existence … we know however that is not always the case.
If you are interested in planning for future bequests please make sure you take the necessary steps so that both your wishes and your loved ones are protected. At Wolf Connection we always advise to seek the advice of your legal counsel, financial planner or CPA. We will provide you with any information that your adviser may require.
Our main concern is to make sure that your request for the use of your gift is honored. We are deeply grateful to those of you who are coming forward and remembering Wolf Connection in your bequest … each dollar invested in social impact with Wolf Connection will be greatly maximized and your legacy will be remembered for generations to come
.
If you are considering a gift of any size and would like more information, please contact director Teo Alfero or call 661-450-8191.
