Our Mission Statement:

At Wolf Woods Dog Sanctuary, our mission is to provide a safe, loving, and natural refuge for German Shepherds and other dogs in need. We are dedicated to rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming, with a deep respect for the loyalty and spirit of every dog. Nestled in the heart of the wilderness, we strive to offer a peaceful haven where healing begins and second chances thrive. Our commitment is rooted in compassion, integrity, and a belief that every dog deserves a life of dignity, freedom, and love.

How We're Different:

At Wolf Woods Dog Sanctuary, we’re not just a shelter—we’re a sanctuary in the truest sense. Here’s what sets us apart:

• Natural Healing Environment: Nestled in the quiet beauty on the Tanana Valley in the interior of Alaska, our sanctuary offers peace, space, and a deep connection to nature. Dogs roam, explore, and decompress in wide-open spaces.

• Breed-Focused Expertise: With a special focus on German Shepherds and other high drive dog breeds, we understand their unique needs, temperament, and behaviors.

• Trauma-Informed Care: Many of our dogs come from tough situations. We invest time in their emotional healing with patience, consistency, and care—never rushing the process.

• Lifetime Support: We stay connected. Adopters become part of the Wolf Woods family, with ongoing support, resources, and guidance for life.

• Training: All Dogs go to their new homes having Basic Training - Leash Skills, Sit, Down, Crate Trained, Potty Training, and Recall.
