Our adoptable animals can be seen here. If no animals are showing, we are supporting our community in other ways while we work to rebuild our shelter!
ADOPTION FEES
All animals receive a great deal of care during their stay at Brother Wolf. Adoption fees help cover a small portion of the costs associated with the basic care we provide and any additional medical or behavioral support.
Pets adopted from us (except for some small animals and reptiles) are spayed/neutered, tested for diseases, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and treated for parasites. Cats & Kittens are always two for the price of one!

Behavioral Adoptability Guidelines
At Brother Wolf Animal Rescue, we have a responsibility to make safe adoption placement decisions for the people and animals we share our community with. All of the dogs we care for are evaluated as individuals. We gather information about each dog from multiple sources (staff, foster placements, previous guardians, volunteers, etc.). While we evaluate each animal on a case-by-case basis, in general, Brother Wolf will not adopt out dogs who:
- Have a damaging bite history towards children or adults.
- Do not show warning signs before they attempt to bite.
- Have severely injured or killed another dog.
- Cannot be safely handled due to aggressive behaviors.
- Show offensive aggression towards humans (actively decreasing the distance between themselves and the person they are aggressing towards).
- Stalk children in a predatory manner.
- Show uninterruptible aggression towards other dogs.
- Show poor bite inhibition (degree to which dog moderates tooth contact in the case of a bite).
Cats too are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and, in general, Brother Wolf will not adopt out socialized, indoor “house” cats who show offensive aggression towards humans or who bite without provocation. Brother Wolf has a working cat program to place community/feral cats who have a history of living outdoors.
Bites that are determined to be fluke bites are not considered aggression. Fluke bites are bites by a dog that occur during uncommon circumstances that are not likely to be repeated (e.g. while in acute physical pain, while with puppies during lactation, while under sedation, etc.).
