Located in Frazier Park CA, Lockwood Animal Rescue Center is home to the "Warriors and Wolves" program. Their motto is Helping Heal the War after the War.

Through this program they give both wolves and warriors the opportunity to heal together.

Here at LARC we have seen over the years that a wolf who has suffered a physical or emotional scar selects a Veteran with a similar trauma. Over the years we have seen that when the wolf and the Veteran walk side-by-side, there is an unspoken, non-verbal communication that blossoms. This human-animal bond often serves as the catalyst in the Veteran’s reintroduction into society. -Lockwood Animal Rescue Center website

Some of the wolves have been rescued from all over the country from abusive, and neglectful situations. These wolves offer the veterans acceptance, and give them hope through the example of their own healing.
