April 20, 2009
Eagle Tail Mountain Wolf Sanctuary, a non-profit organization, dedicates itself to providing a safe haven for sick, injured, and abandoned wolves and wolf dogs. The current attitude in many areas of the country dictates that "any animal brought into Rabies Control suspected of being part wolf must be destroyed - no exceptions". Eagle Tail Mountain Wolf Sanctuary made a commitment that all animals in their care will NOT be destroyed.

PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS WEB SITE: http://www.eagletailmountain.com - It does close for a few days each year. A visit to the website and the sanctuary itself is highly recommend by Lee and Karen Duquette. It is a fantastic place that Kelly and Patricia Reed run - a big job for two people. Karen and Lee Duquette received a wonderful tour of the sanctuary, had hands-on interaction with the wolves, and were treated like royalty.
