Wild Canid Survival and Research Center
The Wild Canid Survival and Research Center is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving wolves and other wild canids through preservation, breeding, and research. The research area is commonly known as the Wolf Sanctuary. It was founded by Doctor Marlin Perkins and a group of like-minded individuals in 1971 who were interested in the plight of the wild wolf.
The center has been located on 63 acres (250,000 m²) inside the Tyson Research Area, which is located 20 miles (30 km) outside St. Louis, Missouri since its formation. In 2010, the Wild Canid Survival and Research Center formally changed its name to the Endangered Wolf Center. 2008 plans to move to new property near Eureka, MO fell victim to the recession and the property is in the process of being sold. Currently the center is exploring options for relocating operations to a new location near St. Louis.
