NO!!! Wolves need LOTS of space to run (FAR more than even a high-energy dog would) and their prey drive is extremely high, making them a threat to other owners with small dogs and cats and possibly livestock (if you live in a rural area) around. Wolves have a different way of behaving and establishing dominance than dogs do, and require a more experienced person who knows the behaviour of wolves to be able to be the pack leader towards it. Wolves are wild animals and should be treated as such: they are one of the top predators in the wild, and should be regarded and respected as such.

If you want a pet that resembles a wolf go adopt a Malamute or a Chow chow or any breed that historically is a closer relative to the wolf than a poodle or shi-tsu would be. But NEVER make a pet out of a wolf or even a wolf-hybrid: they should stay in the wild.
