Adopt an Animal
Every rescued bear has their own story, and you can be part of their next chapter. Choose who to adopt and help give them the care, freedom, and peace they deserve.
For years he was confined behind iron bars on cold concrete, as a roadside attraction. By adopting him, you can help this gentle bear rebuild his strength and trust in the world.
After years trapped in a cramped zoo cage, Jean is learning to climb, explore and be himself. By adopting him, you can help him grow in confidence and feel safe at last.
For many bears, life has little to offer beyond pain and captivity. Some are chained, starved, and forced to perform for tourists, while others are kept for the cruel bear bile industry. Instead of roaming forests, foraging and living the life they are meant to live, many are confined to tiny cages and denied even the simplest natural behaviours. Your adoption ensures that bears like Bolik and Jean can continue to live safely in sanctuaries where they can finally rest, explore, and rediscover what it means to be a bear.

By adopting a bear, you’ll help them recover from years of cruelty and neglect. Your support provides nourishing food, expert veterinary care, and a safe, natural home where they can heal and thrive. With your help, these intelligent, sensitive animals can finally enjoy the freedom and peace they deserve.
Every adoption helps build a safer, kinder future for bears everywhere.
