A non-profit shelter for wolves and wolf dogs, Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary is northwest of Grants along Highway 53. Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary is a place that's not only designed to provide shelter and refuge for wolves and wolf dogs, but seeks to educate the public at large about the true nature of wolves. Beautifully set in an area known as Candy Kitchen, Wild Spirit has guided tours from 11AM, 12:30AM, 2PM and 3:30PM and takes you along specially built enclosures that house the animals. A guide is there to explain about the sanctuary and facts about the wolves.
