Enrichment is important for innately wild animals in captivity. They don’t get to experience the same activities that animals living in the wild do, so caretakers need to provide added enjoyment and new experiences. There are many ways to do this, like giving them new things--to smell, taste, or look at--or giving them problems to solve (things to open). At Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, we give our rescues enrichment every single day, on top of our Seasonal Enrichment Events.
Your vital donation of $35 each quarter helps us provide unique treats and toys plus helps us provide our rescues with the raw meat diet they crave and deserve. It takes a lot of hard work, driving, vehicle maintenance, storage and supplies to make this happen. On behalf of happy rescues, thank you for your thoughtful support!
We strive to offer our rescues a variety of daily enrichments to maintain novelty and a positive response, including (but not limited to):
- Peanut butter smears
- Thyme
- Mint
- Bubbles
- "Pupsicles"
- Toys
- Pine Cones w/ smear
- Scent Sprays
- Pelts
- Box Feed
- Snowmen
- Kibble Scatter
. . . and many, many more!
