1. The Wolfdogs' Beautiful Winter Coats
This time of year, the wolfdogs have grown in their full winter coats. Their coats appear much fluffier and more striking than in the summer. As the season progresses, their winter coat becomes thicker and coarser, which adds to that iconic wolfdog look so many guests hope to see.
2. Cooler Temperatures Mean More Active Wolfdogs
While cooler weather is not everyone’s favourite, the wolfdogs thrive in it. Winter temperatures give them a natural boost in energy, and they tend to be far more active throughout the day. A crisp winter day often means playful behaviour and more chances to observe them moving through their enclosures.
3. A Quieter Time to Reconnect with Nature
Winter is generally a calmer season at the Sanctuary, which makes visits feel peaceful and more immersive. Fewer crowds offer a better chance to enjoy quiet moments with the wolfdogs and take in the surrounding landscape. It is also the perfect time to spot some of our shyer or more aloof wolfdogs who may be easier to glimpse when the Sanctuary is quieter.
4. Updated Pathways for Comfortable Winter Visits
Thanks to recent upgrades, our pathways are now accessible year-round. Both the Sanctuary Walk and the Intro Tour can be enjoyed even on snowy days. Our team works hard to keep paths clear and safe during winter weather so you can explore comfortably. These improvements mean winter visits are easier and more enjoyable than ever.
5. Snow Makes Everything Feel Even More Magical!
The Sanctuary is breathtaking in winter. Snow dusts the aspen trees, the sparkle of frost, and on clear days, you can see stunning views of the Rocky Mountains. To make your visit even cozier, stop by our visitor centre for a warm hot chocolate or tea and relax by the firepit before or after your walk.
Bonus Reason: By visiting the Sanctuary, you’re making a difference!
Your visit helps us provide our rescued wolfdogs with a meaningful and fulfilled life and allows us to continue offering education that builds understanding, compassion and a deeper appreciation for wolfdogs and wolves.
