Answer
Well, you could have gone to the Animals page.
[Animals > Mammals > Wolves?]
But no, no mention of wolves on Gor here.
Perhaps then, you could have looked for the more general topic of Dogs.
[Animals > Mammals > Dogs]
There you would find these quotes:
I walked about her. "You would make a pretty poodle," I told her. I used the English expression 'poodle,' of course, as the animal is unknown on Gor.
Guardsman of Gor    Book 16    Page 298
Horses and dogs did not exist on Gor. Goreans, on the whole, knew them only from legends, which, I had little doubt, owed their origins to forgotten times, to memories brought long ago to Gor from another world. Such stories, for they were very old on Gor, probably go back thousands of years, dating from the times of very early Voyages of Acquisition, undertaken by venturesome, inquisitive creatures of an alien species, one known to most Goreans only as the Priest-Kings.
Savages of Gor    Book 17    Page 16
"I come from far off," she said, "from another world, one called Earth, brought here like a dog or horse, stripped and sold like a pig in a public, open market. But, forgive me. Master does not know those animals."
Avengers of Gor    Book 36    Page 43
However, the word wolf is used in several places throughout the series. It’s just that when used, it’s used as a metaphor, like these quotes:
There were wolves in the streets of Tharna.
Outlaw of Gor    Book 2    Page 220
He was bearded, fierce- eyed, wolf-eyed, and mighty of mien.
Quarry of Gor    Book 35    Page 77
The urt is a loathsome, horned Gorean rodent; some are quite large, the size of wolves or ponies, but most are very small, tiny enough to be held in the palm of one hand.
Nomads of Gor    Book 4    Page 125
There is one other time when wolves were mentioned but this is when Tarl was speaking to an Earth born slave who knew what a wolf is.
"As a Gorean slave girl, and one of unusual beauty, I want you to realize clearly the peril in which you stand."
"Peril, Master?"
"Certainly," he said. "You will be as hot, fresh meat, juicy and steaming, amongst ravenous wolves!"
Prize of Gor    Book 27    Page 182
Hope all of this helps you understand that there are no wolves on Gor.
