Wolfdogs, coyotes, foxes, dingoes, New Guinea Singing Dogs, and other wild canids often fall through the cracks of both domestic animal rescue and wildlife rehabilitation. Many cannot be safely released into the wild, and many are not suited for typical home environments.

Black Moon provides lifelong refuge for animals facing neglect, abandonment, displacement, legal issues, or euthanasia risk. Our goal is to give each resident safety, dignity, species-appropriate care, and room to live as fully as possible.

Not yet. Black Moon is still rebuilding infrastructure, improving enclosures, restoring land, and working toward the safest possible visitor experience for both people and animals.

We hope to offer limited private tours and educational visits in 2026-date TBA. For now, the best way to stay updated is to join our email list, follow us on social media, or support the sanctuary through donations, shop orders, and Patreon.

No. Black Moon is a lifelong sanctuary, not an adoption facility. Most residents came to us because they needed permanent refuge, specialized containment, experienced care, or a stable environment after trauma or displacement.

When an animal becomes part of Black Moon, our commitment is to provide lifelong safety, care, and belonging.

If you're interested in adopting a wolfy-like companion, we HIGHLY suggest rescuing a husky at your local shelter, or through Husky Halfway House . Huskies will share many of the characteristics that attract people to wolfdogs, without the breed specific risks and specialty care.

Many of our residents are captive-born, human-socialized, hybridized, medically complex, or otherwise unable to survive safely in the wild. Releasing them would put them, local wildlife, livestock, pets, and people at risk.

Sanctuary gives them what release cannot: safety, food, veterinary care, stable social bonds, enrichment, and protected space to live as naturally and peacefully as possible.

You can contact us about a wolfdog or wild canid in crisis, but intake depends on available space, safety, legal considerations, and the animal’s needs. We cannot guarantee placement.

Before surrendering, we strongly encourage families to seek help from qualified trainers, behavior professionals, containment experts, and experienced wolfdog advocates whenever possible. If surrender is truly necessary, fill out our intake questionnaire and include as much detail as possible.

We avoid reducing animals to percentages or “blood quantum.” Wolfdog identity is complex, and percentages alone do not tell the full story of an animal’s needs, behavior, personality, or lived experience.

At Black Moon, we focus on the whole individual: their safety, trauma history, social needs, care requirements, and right to dignity.

The best ways to help are to donate, shop Revolutionary Mystic | Black Moon Candle Co., join our Patreon, share our work, or subscribe for updates.

Every donation, shop order, and monthly membership helps fund food, veterinary care, enclosure repairs, enrichment, rescue needs, educational programs, and land restoration.
