Actually they were not in the book the attack of the 'wolves of Isengard' was just a movie thing.

Wargs were in the book at a different point but I can't remember where.

So Peter Jackson came up with then name Wolves of Isenguard? Do you know what book the 'wargs' were in Shadow? I'd like to read about them, I heard Tolkien never did much with them though

The wolves of Isengard is in the book, but they are mentioned as just raiding villages and whatnot. And yes, the are Wargs. Saruman tells that orc to send out his "warg riders."
