(Headline) LOCAL WOLF SANCTUARY NEEDS DONATIONS

Just beyond the Maryland border is the little-known town of Elm, Pennsylvania. There, sixty magnificent wolves have found a safe haven from neglect and abuse.

While some of the “Wolves of Speedwell Forge” were born at The Sanctuary, most were rescued from inhumane living conditions all over the United States and Canada. The Sanctuary is where they’ll spend the rest of their lives, with as much freedom and dignity as possible.

The Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania, a non-profit corporation formed in 1980 to protect and preserve these beautiful animals, is funded solely by the generous contributions of dedicated patrons. Donations can be mailed directly to the Wolf Sanctuary, or presented in person during a private tour of the facility.

Because the wolves can no longer hunt as they could when they lived in the wild, The Sanctuary must provide for their every need, and relies entirely on donations (fencing, lumber, vet services, dog chow/treats, and of course, dollars).

To arrange interviews with The Sanctuary administrators and meet and photograph the wolves, contact ______________.
