Second Chances
Max
In May of 2018 I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Dave and his staff at Predators of the Heart, an exotic animal refuge, located in Washington state. This 10 acre refuge is a nonprofit organization that provides a safe home for various types of exotic animals.
Booking this Wolf Encounter was one of the best and most educational days of my life. We got to spend a lot of time with Max prior to taking a hike with him and Kakoa. Kakoa had us all howling with her in the forest and then we stopped so Max could take a break and sit on our laps.
At the conclusion of our hike we went back to the refuge and got to see a cougar, foxes, and many other rescued exotic pets. We were fortunate enough to get to observe and spend time with seven 11 month old wolf cubs. They were shy, curious and highly entertaining, just like if you had an 11 month old puppy at home.
My brief story and photos will never do this experience justice. Just trust me and go experience it for yourself!
