Lockwood Animal Rescue Center

The Lockwood Animal Rescue Center (LARC) is a unique animal welfare and veterans’ rehabilitation center. We rescue and provide sanctuary for wolves, wolfdogs and other animals who have been bred to live in a domestic environment and protect wolves in the wild. We also offer a therapeutic environment for combat veterans suffering from trauma through employment, job skill development, sobriety maintenance, and coordination of care. Most of LARC’s facility caregivers are former military personnel.

LARC’s main program is Wolves and Warriors. In this program, veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other traumas care for the wolves and wolfdogs at LARC. Our Wolves and Warriors veterans participate in rescue missions across the country, saving wolves and wolfdogs from pelting operations, roadside zoos, and cases of abuse and neglect.
