The "family" started in 1990, when Liz took in two wolfdogs from a friend who needed to find them a spacious home. Living on a 125 acre farm, there was more than enough room when the two presented Liz with an extended family, and life with a wolf pack began. Through trial and error, reading material on wolves and uncountable hours working on fences, experience and knowledge was gained. Over the years, other wolf/wolfdogs came to live on the farm, needing a safe haven. The Sanctum was founded to pass on not only the love for the wolf, but all the experience gained from working with wolves and wolfdogs in hopes that others may also learn to love, respect and hopefully conserve this magnificent resource.
