the county just denied the permit so our neighborhood stays exactly how it should be. i cant believe how much energy everyone put into this but we actually pulled it off. keep an eye out just in case they try anything weird again down the road.

Neighbors,
As you may have heard, the Wolf Sanctuary is trying to relocate to 16278 W County Road 74E. Right in between the Red Feather Highlands and Glacier View Meadows neighborhoods. Are you ready for the following?
1. A visitor center with 3-4 guided tours per day
2. 3-4 Yurts for overnight staff
3. 60 Wolf hybrids in Pens located to within 100' of neighboring properties
4. The associated constant howling and odor problems
5. Current elk, moose, turkey and deer migration routes and habitat disrupted by development of Wolf hybrid pens on the 180 acre property.
6. Polluted stormwater runoff from Wolf pens that have little or no vegetation left.
Pictures on their website clearly show the lack of vegetation inside the current pens.
7. Large fences visible from the road
8. A commercial operation with gift shop and public memorial gardens
9. Possible safety issues with escaped animals
10. Possible safety issues with an entrance on a curvy road
11. Lower property values
There is a long history of neighborhood complaints at the current Rist Canyon location.
I feel these plans are going to seriously affect the character of these two neighborhoods and the area in general. We moved here for a reason. I understand these animals need a shelter, but why not locate them somewhere much further from a populated area?
If you are opposed to the move, please sign and share this petition.

These are not wolves but hybrid dogs. This rescue kennel and amusement park are not part of why I bought a home in the area. The howling of dogs and extra traffic is not the peace and quite I was looking for.
This proposed oversized dog hybrid kennel in no way harmonizes with the neighborhood. No one lives here to hear captive dog hybrids howling for the next several years. In addition, the proposed traffic increase in area already especially dangerous only makes this proposal even more ridiculous.
The proposed sanctuary is adjacent to our ranch and I am strongly opposed to it for several reasons. It would have a threatening and negative impact on the wildlife and our livestock. Also, an assured disruption of the community as a whole.
A tax-free entity will be supported by tax payers, not W.O.L.F. There are many new residents in the area who may not fully appreciate that the attraction was quiet surroundings, dark nights, and wildlife to watch. Let's not lose it all to increased traffic, high fencing, and possibly night time lighting.
This Wolf sanctuary should not be located in a populated area. There is land available that can be used to support this project without interfering with the peace and quiet of the Highlands. The peace, quiet and the wild life that visit the Highlands is why we moved here from Arizona.
No wolves!
What a SCAM. These people aren't saving wolves, yet they call themselves WOLF........ Trying to pull on people's heart strings with the Wolf word. DISGUSTING!

Agree with most concerns - but also concerned about increased traffic on CR 74e - a road that does not handle current traffic load well due to no passing lanes, no slow traffic pull-off areas - and increasing aggressive/angry driving now!
