Charity Mission

Transform lives through reciprocal relationships between wolves and humans.

 

Why is it important?

Nestled on 165 acres in the mountains above Los Angeles, Wolf Connection provides sanctuary for rescued wolves and wolfdogs, turning their stories of abuse and abandonment into symbols of hope. These wolves, cared for by a dedicated team, serve as living ambassadors, inspiring participants in programs designed to foster personal growth, purpose, and community. Since 2009, Wolf Connection has worked with diverse groups, from foster care organizations to veterans, offering immersive programs and initiatives like the Wolf Lessons for Human Lives educational platform. By challenging centuries-old misconceptions about wolves, Wolf Connection bridges the ancestral bond between humans and these majestic creatures, catalyzing healing and transformation for both species.

How do they do it?

Wolf Connection redefines the human-animal bond through its pioneering Wolf Therapy®, transforming lives and narratives alike. Through Wolf Therapy®, participants engage with these animals in ways that unlock self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a profound sense of belonging. The wolves, many of whom have endured abandonment or abuse, find healing through human connection, while simultaneously acting as catalysts for human growth. This mutual exchange offers lessons in trust, communication, and community, demonstrating the power of shared experience. By blending therapeutic practices with the innate wisdom of wolves, Wolf Connection creates a space where both species heal and thrive together. As a sacred sanctuary for captive wolves and wolf dogs, Wolf Connection invites you to embrace the Way of the Wolf—a journey to discover your authentic howl and foster harmony with others. This path encourages them to recognize our interdependence with all living beings and the Earth.

  • Discover the transformative lessons from one of humanity’s oldest teachers—the wolf, written by Wolf Connection founder Teo Alfero

Topics range from wolves in the wild, their impact on the national landscape and the complex social significance of the human and wolf connection
  • For a deeper connection to the wolves and personal enrichment, locals to Southern California are encouraged to volunteer their time and services to empower all beings to believe in their worthiness and their inner capacity for personal growth. Because of the sensitivity of the pack and the importance of building relationships over time, Core Volunteers commit to spend at least 12 consistent hours per month (3 days a month @ 4 hours minimum each session) for a minimum of one year, assisting with pack care and land maintenance. After a two month period, Core Volunteers may be considered to train for Kennel Crew, which has direct contact with the animals. If you have the determination to make a difference fill out a questionnaire to volunteer
