I'm a huge fan of wolves and of this particular sanctuary (I follow them on Facebook and own their calendar). This was a charming book to flip through, and would make a fabulous coffee table book. If you or anyone in your family enjoys wolves, it's a great buy.

A beautiful look at a wolf sanctuary in the United States. Filled with wonderful pictures of the pack and stories about both the wolves and the people who care for them.

I definitely enjoyed this book, it was awesome. I cannot wait to buy this book. The pictures were so great.

The photographs in Wolf Sanctuary were beautiful, but I was unable to finish reading the bits of text before the book expired so I cannot offer a complete review. My apologies to the author and publisher.

Filled with images of wolves at the Speedwell Sanctuary in Pennsylvania. A short but nice coffee table book. Good for animal lovers but just a bit short on narrative. Thanks to Net Galley for my copy. Reviewed on Amazon and Goodreads.

The photographs of the wolves are absolutely beautiful. I appreciate the stories within the work, and love the mission of the sanctuary. I especially enjoyed the chapter on the wolves baying at the moon, it’s a subject that speaks volumes to me. An excellent, highly recommended, beautiful work.

It’s such an informative, insightful and well written book. It looks at their evironment, food supply and social order. I didn’t think I could love them any more but then they showed me the cubs.

Beautiful photographs of these majestic animals. A must read for anyone interested in wolves or their domestic cousins. Keep up the good work providing sanctuary for these much misunderstood wild animals.

Wolf Sanctuary: The Wolves of Speedwell Forge by Chuck Rineer is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. It is mostly photos of the beautiful creatures, all ages and colors. I enjoy that as much as reading about them if not more. I would have given it a 3 1/2 but they don't give halves out. It was good/average but not overly good. I still enjoyed it but I am sure the photographer had a closer bond with them.

This is a gorgeous, stunning visual treat. To be allowed a glimpse of these wolves, a window into their lives is an experience most of us will never experience. This is one of those rare coffee-table-style books any wolf enthusiast will adore. And I plan on getting a copy for myself. We see the wolves resting, howling, eating, making a den and bringing up the pups in a combination of colour and black and white photographs. We feel as though we are there, and it was not hard to imagine the little hairs on the back of my neck lifting with their howls.
I have been fortunate to hear wolves howl in the wild as they hunted, so it didn't require too much imagination to hear these ones.
What a wonderful book!

Stunningly beautiful photography, a truely worthy addition to any collection of wolf or wildlife books. It truely reenforces the need to protect these magnificent animals. I enjoyed it greatly, the only thing that would be better would be being thee to see their interacts with one another in person.

I am totally bummed that I couldn’t download this on any of my devices because I really wanted to read this book but I tried several times on my iPad and my kindle

A beautiful book filled with photographs of the wolves living at the Sanctuary of Speedwell Forge. There is some text including the history of the sanctuary. I really liked reading about the wolves and the stories behind the photographs. Enjoy visiting this special place

This lovely book offers a beautifully photographed look at the Speedwell Forge Wolf Sanctuary in Pennsylvania. It is a photographic Valentine to these mysterious creatures by Chuck Rineer, who has photographed the packs in their natural habitat since 2007. Offers a peek into the hidden world of wolf life, including how new members become part of the pack and how they live in every season, along with stories and insights into pack behavior. Highly recommended!

Thanks to the author, Schiffer Publishing Ltd. and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are mine.

Wolf Sanctuary by Chuck Rineer is a dazzling compilation of photographs that the author took of the wolves at Wolf Sanctuary of PA, a preservation and education facility run by the Darlington family.

There are ten chapters, each with brief written introductions, and full of stunning photos. While there is text at the beginning of each chapter, the bulk is devoted to these majestic beasties. The first chapter introduces the human element- the staff of Wolf Sanctuary. Other chapters focus on topics such as denning, pups, wolfsong, exercise/play, rest/relaxation, and feeding dynamics. It's easy to see the depth and complexity of not just the packs themselves, but of the individual wolves. My favourites were the pics of the pups, and of adults sleeping in the snow, though Thor was my favourite wolf. He's blind, which I can relate to.

This is a perfect gift for any who love wolves, or nature photography in general, and would make a lovely coffee table book.

***Many thanks to Netgalley and Schiffer Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This book is filled with such beautiful photos that Chuck Rineer had taken at Speedwell Forge Wolf Sanctuary for chose to a decade. These images are simply beautiful and it made me fall in love with these wild canine all over again. Rineer did a wonderful job at sharing the characteristics, and personalities of many gorgeous wolves, and I can only imagine how breathtaking they would have been to see in person. I can see this being the perfect coffee table book. A lovely educational piece.

I have received a much appreciated digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I definitely enjoyed this book, it was lovely. The quality of the photographs is high and most of the photographs are simply fabulous!

Goodreads Rating: 4 stars

A beautifully put together book of photographs of the wolves at the Speedwell Forge Wolf Sanctuary in Pennsylvania.

While I do wish there had been a bit more information, whether about wolves in general or the sanctuary itself, the wolves are the stars of the book and Rineer’s photos capture their personalities perfectly. Ranging from gorgeous shots of the wolves playing and lounging in the snow to brief photo arcs of den digging and pup training, this is a perfect coffee table book for anyone who loves wolves.

Wolf Sanctuary: The Wolves of Speedwell Forge by Chuck Rineer is both a photography collection and a non fiction book about the wolves of Speedwell Forge Wolf Sanctuary.It is currently scheduled for release on April 28 2018.

Through the images readers can experience wolves at work and play, and encounter their howls and growls close up. Since 2007, Chuck Rineer has photographed the packs in their natural habitat, displaying a connection and respect for their way of life that few of us will experience. See the hidden details of wolf life, and go behind-the-scenes of this special sanctuary. Learn how the newest wolves are integrated into the packs, something rarely seen by human eyes, and follow all the wolves through the different seasons of the year. Full of stunning photographs, stories, and insights into pack behavior, this is a must-have book for those who have been captivated by wolves from afar and long for the chance to see these majestic animals up close and personal.

Wolf Sanctuary: The Wolves of Speedwell Forge has some wonderful photographs and very interesting information about this sanctuary, it staff, and the wolves. It was a well organized and worded collection of information- with some pictures that might seem commonplace, but others that are startling. My daughter is wolf obsessed, and I have always been a fan, so I have done my fair share of wolf research. However, getting to see the current state of a wolf sanctuary, and some of the work and people involved behind the scenes was moving. I enjoyed getting to see all that is involved in the lives of the wolves, and what goes into keeping them safe and happy without encroaching on their natural behaviors. I have a feeling this might become a household favorite, but fear that requests for a road trip will soon follow.

This stunning album of photographs gives an insight into the work of the Wolf Sanctuary of PA through the works of Chuck Rineer.

In the introduction Chuck tells us that he decided to rekindle his interest in photography and thank goodness he did as the results in this book are amazing. They give a rare glimpse into the life of the wolves from pups through to the more mature animals, they show off a range of behaviours and are the result of hours of observation and a generous amount of patience. There are images in both black & white and colour highlighting the beauty and majesty of these much maligned animals. Through the text and captions there is much to be learned about the character of some of the individual animals show as well as details of the natural history of wolves.

We should be thankful that establishments such as the Wolf Sanctuary of PA exist and this book gives the reader a chance to examine the workings of it. A great book for anyone who cares about the wildlife of the United States or wolf lovers everywhere.
