History

Wolves in South Africa

 

Wild wolves in South Africa? No such thing! The first wolves were brought into the African country in the 1960s and each one of them descends from captive-bred wolves. Due to this, the sad reality is that we can never send them back to their ancestral homes in the Northern Hemisphere. Wolves in South Africa have been raised in domestic environments, are completely habituated to humans and have no experience of living in the wild.

Just like any high maintenance animal, or think power breed (German Shepard, Rottweiler, Pitbull etc) not everyone should have one. There is nothing wrong with a power breed, it’s the people who buy and try to own them. People think that they can handle these animals but they simply can’t. You need to be able to care for and handle an animal with remarkable strength, personality and most importantly, ENERGY. Unfortunately, this is one of the reasons why HuskyRomi is home to over 250+ wolves, huskies and hybrids.

Should you have no other option, HuskyRomi Wolf Sanctuary and Tsitsikamma Wolf Sanctuary together have over decades of experience and are able to give these majestic animals the five freedoms they so very much deserve.
