If we end up with an animal that remains dependent on us, we have failed in our mission and may have ruined a wild animal for life. Baby wolves are as cute as little puppies. But if you are considering obtaining a wolf puppy you must look at the future. Nothing stays a baby forever. No matter how much human handling the animal has, its basic instincts will kick in.
Wolves are a large, strong carnivorous predator.
They are a very social animal within their own species, establishing a family group that stays together. They need a lot of room and a lot of food. Keeping a large animal caged in an enclosure only results in frustration for the animal, and it will begin to exhibit that to others. The longer it is caged, the more difficult it is to handle. What a way to live.
