Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Sedona Wolf Sanctuary a non-profit organization?

Yes, we are a registered 501(c)3 and non-profit organization in the State of Arizona (EIN: 92-1177534) that is dedicated to the prevention of animal cruelty, providing a safe, comfortable space for our rescued wolves to live, as well as a one-of-a-kind spiritual wolf experience for our visitors that offers healing and education about these beautiful creatures in a way that honors our ancestors and respects the rich native history of this land.

What happens during a wolf visit experience?

Each party will get an intimately guided tour that includes an organic wolf experience inside their enclosures, meaning we do not force the wolves to come up to you and it is completely up to them whether or not they want to directly interact (but don’t worry, they often do!). In addition, we will take you on a journey to experience medicine wheels, sacred sites, and help feel connected to nature on a deeper way, while keeping your goals in mind throughout for a more customized experience catered to everyone.

How do I book an appointment for a wolf visit?

Call us at (928) 389-1321 or you can book online as well.

How long is the experience?

The entire experience/wolf visit lasts about 2 hours to visit all the wolves and get the full experience of the various spiritual exercises/sacred sites included throughout the property.

What should I wear to the sanctuary?

We highly recommend that you wear clothes that you do not mind getting dirty and closed toe shoes. Please refrain from very fuzzy/puffy or loose/dangling clothing including large earrings, clothes with tassels, scarves, etc. Absolutely no fur boots, fur jackets, fur fringe, or fur in general. Sunglasses will need to be removed while inside the enclosures.

How can the wolves help me with spirituality and healing?

Many Native Americans viewed the wolves as a teacher or guide, sacred important figures to their life and journeys. They even believed that God roamed the earth in the form of wolves. Their connection to the spirit world is felt and seen in the presence of wolves, especially if you have the chance to touch them or look them directly in the eyes.

What is the price per person for a wolf experience?

There is a required donation of $111 per person (each guest must be ages 13+). Cash is preferred and easier but we can also do Paypal and Venmo (with an added transaction fee). If you have a large group size of 6 or more, we highly recommend contacting us to ensure we can accommodate accordingly on the date/time of your choosing. For large groups or retreats, ask us about special discounts for large size parties. For those wanting exclusively PRIVATE bookings, it is $700 - includes up to 7 people, and each additional person is $100.

Can someone sit outside of the enclosures and “watch” while I’m in during the wolf experience? Is the fee same?

This option is only available for those who book an exclusively private visit. Please refer to the question above for pricing (also, donation amount applies to everyone on the property whether or not they participate).

Is this an outdoor experience?

Yes. We want you to feel comfortable, so we have plenty of shaded areas, trees, and seating/benches throughout the experience and in each of the enclosures as well. We also provide cold mini water bottles to you during the visit so you can stay hydrated!

Do you accept walk-in visits?

No. All visits are strictly by appointment only, and must be confirmed via phone in advance. If you are looking to book a last-minute visit, call us at (928) 389-1321 and we will do our best to accommodate. If there are changes to the size of your party we must know ahead of time as well to make sure we can accommodate accordingly.

What happens if there is inclement weather?

In the event of bad weather (rain, snow, etc), please give us a call and we will attempt to contact you as well to make adjustments accordingly.
