Wolves Saved my Life

At Lockwood Animal Rescue Center (LARC), veterans suffering from PTSD are connecting to nature in a way few would expect–bonding with the big, bad wolf.

LARC provides therapy in the form of wolves, wolf-dogs, coyotes, foxes, and Primurine horses. These therapy animals are rescues from terrible living conditions or a threatening environment. The facility spays, neuters, and microchips all of the rescued animals in a fight against the breeding of wildlife in a domestic setting.

With these rescues, packs are formed naturally when individual animals show they are ready to bond with other animals. The bigger the pack, the larger the enclosure they require. LARC is highly sensitive to a pack’s need for space and provides spacious habitats.

LARC employs returning combat veterans to care for traumatized wolves through a program called Warriors and Wolves. The wolves in this program cannot be returned to the wild, and LARC provides them this safe place to live out the rest of their lives. In turn, the veterans caring for them find their own path toward healing and feeling safe.
