Critically Endangered Wolves Need Our Support to Survive

Red wolves and Mexican wolves are critically endangered and fighting to survive. They face many dangers like vehicle collisions, habitat loss, and illegal killing. They were nearly wiped out due to human actions, so now we need to come together to protect them. 

With only a few hundred of theses endangered wolves left in the wild, every loss is devastating.

Greater Good Charities (GGC) is partnering with conservation organizations and wolf sanctuaries nationwide to help save wolves, but they need your support. Together, we can help build wildlife crossings over busy highways that will not only help preserve the wild wolf populations but also help countless other animals who are struck by vehicles.

But that's not all. 

GGC is also working with sanctuaries like Wolf Haven International to improve sanctuary habitats to give mistreated and captive-born wolves a fighting chance, like Billie.

Wolves are intelligent, beautiful, wild animals that are not suited as pets. Sadly, there are many who end up in the exotic pet trade and are not properly cared for. Billie arrived malnourished after years of instability. She is finally safe and getting the care she needs.

She has one of the most distinct smiles with a rare, geminated tooth and her caretakers said it fits her perfectly, "a little wild but completely unforgettable."

They went on to say, "At Wolf Haven, she quickly became known for her curiosity, her bounce, and her bold personality. Her growing comfort even helped calm the wolf she was paired with, proving just how important social bonds and stable environments can be in an animal’s recovery."

The sanctuary has helped more than 352 wolves, wolfdogs, coyotes, and foxed since 1982, and are currently caring for over 50 animals at their Washington and Montana locations.

The enclosure transformations scheduled for early next year will help improve the lives of the current resident and make room for more wolves. According to the sanctuary, "It will give Billie the room she needs to thrive and prepare her new home for a future companion. Your support helps us continue providing individualized care for animals like Billie, who deserve stability, compassion, and space to be themselves."
