Name A Wolf
Some of our Mexican Gray Wolves have yet to be named, and are referred to only by their studbook reference numbers for the Mexican Wolf SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction). You can make a significant and lasting contribution by giving them a name. We care for nine resident wolves waiting to be named, who are not all pictured here. Your donation will help pay for the wolf's food, veterinarian care and enrichment for one full year. Donors of this level will receive an exclusive biography about their wolf, a frameable certificate and a complimentary one-year membership. For more information and guidelines for naming a wolf please email The California Wolf Center.
F2027
F2027 is a sassy young wolf. She is four years old and one of a litter of seven. Her small size does not stop her from bossing her much larger brothers around. F2027 is one of 27 puppies. Her mother Joy (F1227) and father Bailey (M1139) had four litters at CWC and some of their children have been selected to continue breeding as well as been released out to the wild. Bailey (M1139) is the oldest wolf currently residing at the California Wolf Center.
