Wolf Conservation Center will be get- ting two new Ambassador Pups this summer, which will be available for viewing as part of ongoing educational programs. It has been 8 years since the center last added a pup to the Ambassador Pack. Also, if interested, the public even will have an opportuni- ty to help raise the pups. A limited number of “Pup Playdates” will be offered as part of a fundraising effort.
It is important for wolf pups that will be used in education programs to be acclimated to several unfamiliar humans in addition to their handlers, so the center wants to expose the pups to a variety of people during the first 6-8 weeks of the their lives.
