Paula Woerner stepped inside the fence at Wolfwood Rescue and was greeted by Xena, a 7-year-old wolfdog. Xena followed Woerner to a rock and licked her face.

“Even though Xena is a beautiful animal and does great here and loves people, if she were in your living room, she would eat your couch. She would kill your cat. She would jump on your table and eat all your food,” Woerner said. “She doesn’t belong in a normal suburban home.”

A wolfdog is the hybrid offspring of a domestic dog and any subspecies of wolf. Wolfdogs can inherit traits from both species, including physical characteristics and behavioral tendencies, making them different from pure wolves or domestic dogs.

Woerner founded Wolfwood Refuge in 1995 to rescue and rehabilitate wolves and wolfdogs. The 40-acre, nonprofit sanctuary is licensed by the state and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Its exact location is kept private for the animals’ safety.
