Goals and Mission
Wild Spirit has three primary goals/missions: education, sanctuary, and rescue:
- Education: "To educate the general public about wolves, wolfdogs, and other related species and our environmental and ecological issues related to wildlife." Wolf Ambassadors from the sanctuary travel around the state and nearby areas to meet people at events and in classrooms. They offer first-hand knowledge that wolves are not the Big Bad Wolf of fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood. On-site tours let better understand the animals and the necessity for sanctuaries.
- Sanctuary: "To operate and manage a lifetime sanctuary for displaced, unwanted, and un-releasable captive-bred wolves, wolfdogs, and other related species, utilizing such resources as may be available from local, city, state, and private entities or individuals."
- Rescue: While Wild Spirit receives between one and seven calls every day from people requesting that the sanctuary take their wolves or wolfdogs off their hands, WSWS is at full capacity. The majority of new animals are high-content wolfdogs or wolves being rescued from extreme situations.

“Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time. They are her slave in so far as they must work with means of this world so as to be understood; her master in so far as they subject these means to their higher goals and make them subservient to them.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“I think that any woman who sets goals for herself and takes her own life seriously and moves to achieve the goals that she wants as a person in her own right is a feminist.”
—Frances Kuehn (b. 1943)
“Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
