Protecting Animals is Our Priority
The Lockwood Animal Rescue Center (LARC) offers a therapeutic work environment for our returning combat veterans and a forever home to wolves, wolfdogs, coyotes, horses, parrots and other animals. Located on a 20-acre facility with a 3,000-acre buffer, we offer both the veterans and our rescued animals an opportunity to heal and thrive in a back-to-nature setting.
Our Wolves and Warriors® veteran team rescues wolves, wolfdogs and other animals from illegal breeding operations, roadside zoos, and animal shelters (that would otherwise euthanize them), then provide them with a forever home in our sanctuary.
We firmly believe there is a difference between animal rescue and animal entertainment – which lies in the priority of the animal’s wellbeing over profit. Everything we do takes into consideration the comfort and safety of our sanctuary residents. Because tours, petting, photo ops, and “walk a wolf” programs can add undue stress to the animals we protect, LARC is closed to the public.
LARC advocates against the breeding and selling of high-content wolfdogs and exotic animals. In addition, our WolfGuard program is dedicated to the prevention of illegal slaughter of wolves in the wild. Our tactical team of combat veterans takes action in some of the most remote parts of our country where wolves are most vulnerable.
