In most settings, the presence of a service animal will not result in a fundamental alteration. However, there are some exceptions. At Seacrest Wolf Preserve, service animals are restricted within 500 feet of our wolf enclosures. Wolves are the natural competitors of dogs, and the presence of a dog would be disruptive, causing the wolves to become agitated and possibly behave aggressively toward one another.
Pets and service dogs in training are only allowed for guests staying in our cabin and require a $50 non-refundable pet deposit when you make your reservation. Additionally, pets must be fully vaccinated. ALL GUESTS BRINGING PETS TO THE PRESERVE MUST PRESENT STAFF WITH A UP-TO DATE VACCINATION RECORD FROM THEIR VET.
