Miracle was born last year at the Endangered Wolf Center to parents, Max and Nashoba. She was named Miracle by our long-time volunteer, Lisa Houska because her father, Nashoba, was the first wolf born from frozen/thawed artificial insemination and she is one of his first pups. Truly a Miracle!![]()

The chances of encountering a wild wolf are extremely low. Wolves are generally shy and secretive animals, and there are significantly more bears and cougars in Oregon than wolves. However, just like being prepared for any other possibility while you recreate in our local forests, it is good to be prepared for a wolf encounter.![]()
• Do not feed wolves or their pups.![]()
• Do not attract wolves (or any other predators) by leaving out food.![]()
• Just like human parents will protect their kids when threatened, wolves do not like people being around their pups. Wolves give birth to their pups in mid-April and raise their young during the summer. If you encounter a wolf pup or a den, you should pay attention to your surroundings and carefully leave the area.![]()
• Stay together and keep kids within sight of adults.![]()
If you do encounter a wolf, here are ODFW's tips on what to do:![]()
Make sure the wolf knows that you are there and that you are human. The wolf may not have smelled or seen you if the wind is carrying your scent away from the wolf or if you have been sitting or standing motionless. Simply moving, raising your arms, and talking will alert the wolf and usually cause it to move away quickly.![]()
In the very unlikely event that a wolf threatens you, here is what to do:![]()
• Stay calm![]()
• Raise your voice and speak firmly![]()
• Back away slowly while facing the animal. Do not turn and run![]()
• Leave the wolf a way to escape![]()
• Pick up small children without bending down![]()
• Use air horns or other noisemakers![]()
• Use bear spray or firearms if necessary (fire a shot into the ground safely).

Wolves, once native to Central Oregon, were eradicated from the State by the mid-1940s. However, over the past 15 years, wolves have steadily migrated from neighboring states to reestablish themselves in Oregon...NWC Business Office
