Nash Did her part...
now it's time to do ours

Declared extinct in the 1970s, fewer than 30 American Red Wolves now remain in the wild. Yet against all odds, this species is fighting back. One of the wolves helping save the species is Wolf Haven’s American Red Wolf matriarch, F1945 (Nash).

 

Born in 2015 through the federally managed Saving Animals From Extinction (SAFE) program, Nash came to Wolf Haven to help rebuild a species nearly lost forever. Nash, along with her companion, M1482 (Tala), raised multiple litters that strengthened the fragile genetics of the American Red Wolf and gave our sanctuary its first multigenerational family group. Her story is one of perseverance and triumph.

 

Nash’s son, M2191 (Finch), was even released into the wild in North Carolina, where he fathered 16 pups in just two years! These pups carry forward the genetics Nash helped protect. They are proof that conservation works when we work together.

 

Now retired from the program, Nash lives in the sanctuary she helped define, where our animal care team provides the expert care and attention she deserves. She has done her part: raising pups, shaping the next generation, and helping restore her species to the wild. Now, she depends on us.
