Wolf Haven International, formerly known as Wolf Haven America and Wolf Haven Country, is a wildlife rehabilitation and management 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in Tenino, Washington, that focuses on wolves. Founded in 1982 by Steve and Linda Kuntz, the group provides educational programs on wolves, engages in wolf-related activism, and operates a sanctuary that houses primarily captive-born wolves. It also fosters red wolves for a breeding program in North Carolina and is one of three facilities in the United States that provides pre-release housing for Mexican gray wolves bred for Southwest restoration programs.
Forty-two wolves are harbored at its 80-acre (32 ha) refuge, which can be toured by visitors. These include thirty gray wolves, four Mexican gray wolves, four red wolves, and four wolf/domestic-dog hybrids. In addition to these are two coyotes.
