UK Wolf Conservation Trust in Beenham, Berkshire invited getreading reporter Mary Naylor to the centre for an exclusive walk around to meet the wolves.
Site manager and wolf keeper Mike Collins led the tour before he and senior handler Pat Melton then entered one of the enclosures to give the wolves a medical check and a good scratch.
Earlier in the year we went behind the scenes at the Feathers and Fur Falconry Centre in Reading.
Who will you meet at the wolf trust?
The trust is home to ten adult wolves, two pairs and two packs of three.Torak and Mosi live together near the entrance to the site and are are mates.
Motomo and Mai live together in another enclosure. Mai is the sister of Mosi and Motomo is her mate.
He is an unsocialised male and is not as familiar with humans as the rest of the wolves are.
Mai and Motomo are the parents of a trio known as 'The Beenham Pack'.
Nuka, Tala and Tundra are siblings who were all raised on site and are comfortable enough around staff for them to get in the enclosures and give the Beenhams a good scratch.
The Trust is also home to three huge Arctic wolves, Sikko, Massak and Pukak who were rehomed from Parc Safari in Quebec where they were born in a huge snow storm which nearly killed them.
