When Kiana arrived as a pup, we knew we had a special wolf. Staff experienced a curious pup that wasn't afraid to explore her world. One of the most memorable Kiana pup stories was prior to her arrival the Center's grand opening ceremonies. All the wolf pups were raised at the Kawishiwi Field Lab south of Ely, and Kiana decided to climb out of her enclosure and discover the wildlands of Minnesota. Thanks to the help of Outward Bound Staff, she was discovered nearly a mile away from the lab. She was only about 8 weeks at the time, quite a trip for such little legs.
