A thorough background check is first if a sanctuary is investigating you for adoption. These checks ensure that you don’t have any events on your record that would make you an untrustworthy guardian. Afterward, the organization will inspect your property. If you live in an apartment in the city, you lack the facilities to raise a wolf puppy properly, and the sanctuary will deny your application. Wolves do best with wide, open land and socialize with other wolves or dogs. Above all else, they need safe land that keeps them contained, so no wolves wander into a neighborhood!
