“Meeting the Wolves and getting to have a conversation with Collette and Paul was amazing. They were very accommodating and the wolves were very open to interacting. Would definitely recommend this and learning more of how important Wolves are to the world.” - Juan
“Hands down, the best experience of our entire trip! A once in a lifetime opportunity and Colette was so wonderfully warm and provided so much helpful education about the wolves and the foundation. I can't recommend this experience enough! - Allison
“We loved the experience - Colette was very kind, enthusiastic, and a great educator on why wolves are important to ecosystems. After a casual meetup on the property, she talked in detail about their story, the importance of reintroduction of wolves in the wild, and the wolfdogs she and her husband have adopted. Then, we got a lot of nice time to play with the pups on the property and watch them interact. Colette was great about giving each of us personal time to feed and pet them (if they were interested) and was really good about helping us take pictures. Overall the wolves seemed happy and healthy, and it was cool to see them interact as a pack. We had a great time!”
- Anastasia
“Colette was a lovely host who provided a great experience for us to learn about wolves and their environmental impact. The wolves were also super friendly and adorable. A unique experience!” - Amy
“I cannot express enough how amazing this experience was. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The sanctuary was beautiful and well-maintained. Collette was knowledgeable and friendly, and they clearly had a deep love and respect for the wolves. They gave us a thorough safety briefing and made sure we understood how to behave around the wolves. When we finally entered the enclosure, my heart was pounding with excitement. The wolves were absolutely stunning - their eyes were piercing and intelligent. We were able to get so close to them and feed them. The wolves were so gentle and curious. It was an incredible feeling to connect with such a powerful and majestic animal. Overall, I cannot recommend this experience enough. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget. If you have the opportunity to do this, do not hesitate - it is worth every penny.”

Most amazing and educating experience I have ever had. Love these animals so much - My family and I will definitely be back. It was perfect! -Troy
This was a very beautiful experience. At first, when I first saw the wolves I didn’t know what to expect but immediately, as I got more comfortable and relaxed, I felt a tremendous amount of peace. There’s a lot of misunderstanding about these animals and there is a lot we can learn from them. They are very majestic and healing, being in their presence. It was a very positive experience for myself and my family and I highly recommend coming and visiting this beautiful facility. - Sandra
This was absolutely terrific! We learned so much about wolves and it was great to see them up close and personal, in a way you never would anywhere else! The wolves are beautiful, we loved being with them, petting and loving them.
- Diana and William
Having a private tour with the wolves was one of the most humbling experiences of my life. When we were spending time with them I felt a connection and a sense of belonging. I’m a Christian in faith, but there was something about the spiritual connection I felt that left me really missing them for the next few days. When we got home later that night I asked my brother “Dude, do you feel that? Does it feel like we’re missing something?” and he said “Ya man that was crazy I really miss them too.” My younger brother is very stoic, so I knew that if he felt the same thing I did than I wasn’t crazy and what we experienced was real. I wanted to do something, I wanted to be able to help and give back but I don’t have a lot to give. So I decided all of the camouflage painting I was doing for all my friends for fun, would become a bridge for me to connect to the wolves and give back. I set out to sell camouflaged Hydro Flasks in my free time and give all of the profits back to the Shadowland Foundation. Its been a very fulfilling and positive experience for me and I can’t wait to see the wolves again.
- Bruce Owen

Being able to touch and feel the wolves brought a whole new love and appreciation for these beautiful, wonderful, amazing creatures Your purpose and mission has my full support! I will be sure to spread your message and goals here!" -Anthony and Sydney
"It's been a dream of mine to get up close to a wolf since I was young and what an experience! Our family stayed in the cabin last night and heard the pack howling at night and saw them in person today! I learned a lot about these amazing creatures today and I am so glad that we came. Thank you!" - Susan
“My Boyfriend surprised me for my birthday and I knew from the moment I set my eyes on the pack that I would be back for another visit very soon. The educational portion was great and opened my eyes to the constant struggle that wolves have faced and their place and importance in our eco system. Having the opportunity to meet and interact with the pack was incredible. A few months after my first visit I brought my friends and family back for a private visit and they didn’t disappoint. They are incredibly intelligent and beautiful animals and this was a one of a kind experience.” - Alison Boyle

Visits and Private Wolf Experiences
"I've been fascinated with wolves for most of my adult life. In fact, my daughter once asked me if I have any T-shirts that DON’T have wolves on them! But my visit to Shadowland to play with the wolves was an eye-opening experience! I didn’t realize what gentle, affectionate animals these majestic creatures could be. My grandchildren and I interacted with the pack for more than an hour and a half It was well worth the additional cost for this one-on-one experience. These amazing creatures maintain a “family” structure within the pack from which most humans could learn. Your efforts to educate people and save the few wolves we have left in the wild is commendable and heart-warming. We WILL be back as several other family members now want this same awesome interactive experience. - Suzanne Dyer, Irvine, CA
We LOVED our time with you and the wolves. Thank you so much for this incredible gift. It was truly life-changing for my group. We were very touched by everything you do for those noble animals and the beautiful consciousness you do it with. The love and the joy we received was out of this world. Thank you! Much love and light.

"I made a special 6 hour round trip to visit Shadowland on a recent trip to the USA. It was well worth it, an amazing experience to be accepted by a pack of wolves and walk amongst them. I wish Shadowland well in their endeavor to educate the public about wolves and their part in wild." - Bill Simpson Hamilton, New Zealand
“My Boyfriend surprised me for my birthday and I knew from the moment I set my eyes on the pack that I would be back for another visit very soon.

Such a special and memorable day for us all and we look forward to spreading the word about you to anyone we can get to listen to us. We are already talking about when we can come for our next visit." - Stephanie Milner

"It was absolutely amazing to camp out at the Shadowland Freedom Ranch. To be able to hear the wolves howl at night and in the morning was exciting and so special. Madeline will never forget this experience and has forever bonded with the wolves. Madeline who is 7 years old, was watching a program on Elk when they told the story of the decimation of wolves. They showed a wolf being dragged across the snow by a hunter. This sent her into tears for twenty minutes. She then wrote this:
Save the wolves!!! Protect Them!!! Love Them!!! I Will Save Them !!! Save the Wolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew then, at that instance, that a calling was born and some innocence lost." - Kim Convy
"Thank You for letting me meet the pack. What a wonderful experience. You both are amazing people for caring for these wonderful wolves." - Rona Weber
