I'm not sure about the linking, but we have visited and support the following
three places here in southern California. My daughter also volunteers
occasionally with various domestic animal rescue groups, and brings home any stray
she finds.

These sanctuaries have websites with lovely photos and compelling
information, primarily about wolves, bears and big cats.

My dd (13) loves wolves! We found the wolf mountain site when
searching a while back and someday when we visit CA (we're in MA) we
plan to visit! There's one here in MA but you have to be 18 to
volunteer (and 16 most other places to volunteer, animal shelters etc,
liability I imagine), but from what I read, wolf mountain lets you
interact somewhat with the wolves. Have you been there much? We'd
love to hear of your experiences (feel free to email me off list!).

****I read a book yrs. ago called "Never Cry Wolf" by Farley Mowat (a
favorite of mine:o) which was then turned into a movie, I think it's a Disney one.
AWESOME true story about wolves, man and the Canadian Government. As always, the
book is way better but the movie is pretty great too. If you haven't already
read it or seen the movie, I would do both! ****

****We used to volunteer at a local rescue (for dogs and cats) and they
allowed my girls, then, 10 and 11 to help also. I think it was because they knew me
well though. We are now checking into volunteering at our local Humane Soc.
They will allow kids to come with their families and help after you go through
their orientation, (I think they let you do things like walk the dogs) as long
as the kids are with an adult. But that's just with cats and dogs, not
wolves! <g> ****
