Can a wolf be a house pet?

Answer 1

No, a wolf can't be a house pet because they are a wild animal they need their space. They make good companions however, but just not in the house. They are destructive and nearly impossible to house-train. They need to stay outdoors, so you need to build them a $1000-3000 enclosure.

To get one in the first place, you must first get a permit and be USDA licensed (which you can only do after you build the enclosure, by the way). Then you can talk to a wolf preserve or zoo and ask if you can get a wolf from them or if they can give you any info on where you can get a wolf puppy.

A wolf pup typically costs $2500 or more. Don't worry though. The cost of the wolf and the cost of the enclosure is the most expensive thing about wolf ownership. If you get through those two things, you can get through the rest. A wolf overall costs as much as a large breed of dog, such as a Mastiff or Great Dane. They are not expensive like lions or horses, despite what many people think.
