Nancy Taylor has lived with wolves for over twenty years. She is very dedicated to educating the public about wolves and our need to protect them, as they are a vital part of our planet's ecosystem. Many beautiful items are for sale at the store and all proceeds are used for the wolves. Currently 25 wolves are cared for by her team. Although her wolves are not wild animals, they are not domesticated, either; they live outdoors in a compound. Nancy brings two wolves with her to the visitors center and store each day. You can see the wolves there or take one of the tours offered. The tours are very enlightening and you are able to photograph these beautiful, intelligent animals.  208-263-1100 Wolf People is located on Highway 95, about 35 miles north of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, a little past mile marker 461 on the right.
