    We recently took the base tour of their facility, we were introduced to the wolves and wolfdogs in their care and educated about their species. This was a great experience and definitely worth making the drive to learn more about what they do here! This is a great experience for all ages, I would encourage anyone to bring their friends, family or kids here to learn something new. Sabrina was a great guide! Thank you!

    What a great little, but important, facility! You can tell there is a lot of deep care for these animals and a commitment to doing what is right for them, ethically, physically, and humanely. There is a lot of education that happens for visitors on the short tour without you even realizing it is happening; learning about breeding, phenotyping, habitat, etc. Sabrina was our tour guide and she was super personable, answered every question from members of the group, and had a lot of great quips and little jokes that anyone who appreciates dad humor would love. An unexpected perk was that the entire walkway for the tour groups is a concrete path that is covered and has ceiling fans and a bench that runs the length of the walkway. The gift shop is airconditioned and sells lots of items that range from the traditional inexpensive items to the more specific and personalized with art and plaster casts made by the resident animals. We will certainly be back to take advantage of another tour and probably an overnight stay with them as well.

    Came here with my dad to do a sanctuary tour. Overall it was great and very informative about wolves and wolf dogs. Our tour guide was Sammy who did a very thorough job. Also just to mention this place is accessible to handicapped. Restrooms were kept clean and gift shop was nice.

    It was easy signing up for tours, they don't do walk ins. The staff was welcoming and helpful upon arrival. Our tour guide, I believe was possibly part time, did an amazing job explaining about the Sanctuary. He made the visit very personable with introducing each wolf and their background. Kids and family loved the visit and would recommend to everyone.

    Such a great experience to share with my grandson. We learned so much about wolves and appreciate all this sanctuary is doing to provide a safe and healthy environment. Out guide Lauren was very knowledgeable and passionate about her job. Would recommend this as a great field trip for children and a day out for families.

    We absolutely loved our visit at St. Francis! My daughter has always loved learning about wolves and she was thrilled to learn more information about wolves while watching them today! Our tour guide (Lauren) was very engaging, kept a perfect pace of information, and made the tour fascinating, and upbeat! You can tell that the staff members are passionate about their work, and they do an excellent job! We will most definitely be back for more visits!

    This is a great day trip from either Houston or College Station. The staff a passionate about caring for the wolves and educating the public. The tour provides excellent information on each of their residents, the facility and wolves in general. Also, if anyone is even remotely considering getting a wolf or wolf-dog hybrid as a pet, I would highly recommend visiting this facility first to learn more about what you may be getting into.
