We recently took a trip with our homeschool organization to the St. Francis Wolf Sanctuary in Montgomery, Texas. This is an animal rehabilitation center that takes in rescued wolves and gives them the special care that other animal shelters cannot. Most of the rescued wolves are actually "wolf dogs" and have some part domesticated dog in them. What a fantastic learning experience! While we listened to an informational lecture, we were able to sit on the observation deck and watch the behavior of the wolves in their enclosures. Two "ambassador" wolves came out to greet us and we were allowed to pet them for a while as they enjoyed going for a walk. This is a well-run facility that's clean and appeared to benefit from lots of volunteers. The owners were well-educated and enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge with our group. This is a trip to keep in mind this summer when planning activities for the kids!
