Dholes would be a nice addition to any zoo. I don't think they are even kept in United States anymore...I'm sure one or two facilities have them, but with all of our Asian Highland Exhibits you'd hope they would be more common.
 
A quick search suggests that Minnesota Zoo and The Wilds have Dhole at the very least, as well as Toronto over the border, so they're not gone, but certainly seem few and far between!

I thought that San Diego had them off exhibit at the Safari Park as well, I'm sure I've seen an old article about building them an exhibit? :confused:

Possibly - I literally just stuck 'dhole' into the search box on here and checked the first couple of pages of results!
 
The above listers are correct with Minnesota, The Wilds and SDWAP being the only AZA zoos in the US holding them. Thankfully, the population has been on the rise wiht the Minnesota zoo welcoming two litters of pups within 4 months of going on exhibit back in 2012.
