Wolf Run Wildlife Refuge and Educational Facility, Inc.  began its lifesaving efforts in 1993. The facility, located in Nicholasville, KY, was enacted to help innocent animals find a world that was safe, free from abuse and a permanent sanctuary for those that could not be released back into the wild. Wolf Run has grown into a state and USDA licensed educational facility that houses Kentucky native wildlife as well as African lions to South American cougars, from Wolves and Coyotes to our native Whitetail deer. We work to offer each of them an existence that closely mimics their natural habitats.  

"Food donations for the animals are always welcome and much appreciated. But we do kindly request that visitors PLEASE DO NOT feed the animals at Wolf Run. Many of them are on special or restricted diets, and we need to be aware of and monitor everything they consume. So for their welfare, please refrain from feeding anything to the animals. Thank You"
