Ohio Canid Center‘s goal is to educate the public not only on wolves and their importance in the ecosystem; but also to bring a better understanding for other wild canine species. Isn’t it strange that we love our domestic dog, but fear the wolf, hate the coyote, or see the fox as a nuisance? 

If we understand something better, then we can more easily learn to appreciate and coexist with it. This is the main role of the ambassador animals; who win the hearts of program attendees simply by being there. These are moments that stick with the viewer for the rest of their lives, and in turn help inspire a change in the way everyone views wildlife.
