Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary near Cochrane, Alberta, lets you see wolfdogs up close and learn what they have in common with your own dog. The sanctuary is home to packs of rescued wolfdogs, and its tours exist to educate the public about wolfdogs and raise awareness of wolf conservation. All proceeds from the tours directly fund the sanctuary and its continued rescue efforts.

Choose the visit that suits you. The Self-Guided Sanctuary Walk lets you explore the sanctuary at your own pace. The Intro Tour takes you inside one of the wolfdog enclosures for a 30-minute presentation, a good chance to ask questions, learn about wolf conservation and take photos. The Interactive Tour includes both the Intro Tour and the Self-Guided Sanctuary Walk, plus an up-close, interactive experience with the resident Yamnuska and Cascade Packs. You will learn about wolf behaviour, how it differs from that of domestic dogs, and why wolves matter to the ecosystem. Guests on this tour must follow very specific guidelines.

Tours run outdoors, so dress for the weather and leave fur, faux fur, sheepskin and down clothing at home.
