Have you ever seen a wolf on TV or in the Zoo and wanted to reach out and feel that fuzzy fur? Well, now you can – if you Visit Predators at Heart sanctuary in Seattle, Washington.
PAH is a wildlife sanctuary with a very special attraction for visitors – you can book a guided tour and meet wolves face to face -and other wild animals as well. These encounters are part of the sanctuary’s mission of spreading awareness, appreciation, and compassion for wildlife through real-life encounters.
PAH’s meet-and-greet initiative is pretty unique, for a good reason. Mostly, wolves are shy animals who don’t seek or enjoy the company of humans. But PAT’s wolves are special – these are wolves who, for various reasons, cannot be set free in the wild, and need the help and guidance of the sanctuary’s staff to lead good, long, healthy lives. That also means that unlike most wolves, they’re used to the company of humans and enjoy spending time with them – and the sanctuary has decided to use this as an opportunity to educate the public about these special creatures.
Unfortunately, there’s a long waitlist for the tour – but the PAH team shares photos of their human-wolf encounters on Instagram, so we can appreciate and enjoy this unique experience from afar.
