Become a volunteer now and work at a Wolf and Wolfdog Sanctuary run by U.S. military veterans! This is an amazing opportunity to care for wolves and wolfdogs situated on 20 acres of land in the Los Padres National forest in Ventura County, California which is just an hour and a half away from the City of Los Angeles! Experience living off the grid while helping with the daily routines involved in a sanctuary that is home to a range of displaced, unwanted, and un-releasable captive-bred animals such as wolves, wolfdogs, coyotes, foxes, horses, parrots, pigs and dogs. This Sanctuary is also featured on Animal Planet!
Volunteers for this Sanctuary are needed all year round. Please note that the work with the animals at the Sanctuary is physically demanding and it is by no means an ‘easy holiday option’!
The minimum duration of stay is 4 weeks with a maximum duration of 12 weeks, this gives you the opportunity to learn the project’s routine and it also gives the animals a chance to get to know and trust you within the durations offered. For the 4 weeks volunteer there is less of a chance of actually having physical contact with the wolves and wolfdogs as the staff there will assess safety first.
Keep in mind that this project only accepts male applicants and this is due to the accommodation arrangements.

Dagelijkse activiteiten
The tasks usually include watering and feeding the wolves which gets complicated in the winter months because the water and raw meat freezes and has to be defrosted, you may also have to feed, nurture and groom the horses and birds as well. For the Wolves, the meat needs to be cut up which also takes some strength when the meat is frozen. Poop pick up occurs daily. Your main tasks will mainly consist out of the following but are not limited to:
- Animal care (this includes walking some of the more social animals, cleaning enclosures, changing waters, feeding, and socializing with those animals who enjoy human interaction).
- Cage cleaning
- Maintenance of Habitat/Enclosures.
- Habitat Construction.
- Food preparation (lots of meat preparation every day).
- Diet and water changing, helping with events and Educating the Public.
While some tasks will return on a daily basis (like feeding and cleaning other tasks are more project based like maintenance and habitat construction and depend on your dates.
Vrijetijdsactiviteiten
Volunteers may have the opportunity (all depending on the workload as volunteers need to work 7 days a week) to go hiking, sightseeing, shopping, visiting nature parks and so much more! However, any leisure time activity outside of the project will be at the volunteers own expense.

Makkelijke toegang op de project site
Visum, vluchten, reisverzekering en vaccinaties zijn NIET inbegrepen in de programmakosten.
De dichtste luchthaven is Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles. We assisteren u met het vinden van goedkope vluchten naar Verenigde Staten.
Naar het buitenland reizen is een avontuur en het is best om goed voorbereid te zijn. Plots ziek worden of gewond raken, annulaties of diefstal - een reisverzekering voor Verenigde Staten biedt zekerheid en is een meerwaarde.
Als je de intentie hebt om als vrijwilliger aan de slag te gaan in Verenigde Staten dien je eerst medisch advies in te winnen alvorens je eropuit trekt. Kijk de benodigde vaccinaties na voor Verenigde Staten.
