FOUR PAWS travelled to Slovenia to see bear Tim—but we were denied entry by the zoo owner. Only our vet could see him from afar. Minimum legal standards are not enough. Tim deserves better. We will not give up on him. 🐻💔 #FreeBearTim

#FreeKaavan 🐘: First contact in 8 years! We can now officially call him the "former loneliest elephant in the world"! Seeing Kaavan interacting with other elephants is a huge moment for us but more importantly for Kaavan. 💕We are extremely moved!

Two rescue missions. When the FOUR PAWS team, led by Dr. Amir Khalil, boarded their flight to Pakistan, they couldn’t have imagined the depths of suffering they will witness. All they had seen was a video: a helpless bear, attacked by dogs in a baiting fight.

The day has finally come – we are rescuing Albania’s last restaurant bear! 🐻 We were very busy, preparing everything for Mark’s big day. The cage he had been kept in for over 20 years was never built for him to leave again, but this didn’t stop us - we cut the cage open.

🐻 An update you’ve been waiting for: Bears Rocky & Sunny! Rocky endured brutal bear-baiting fights, and Sunny was forced to dance for entertainment. At the beginning of March, the suffering ended. Our team did a thorough vet check, removed nose rings, & prepared a plan forward.

With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to Mascha. 💔 At 31, she was the oldest bear and one of the first ones to have called BEAR SANCTUARY Müritz a forever home. Her health declined after hibernation, and we chose not to let her suffer any longer. Rest in peace, Mascha. 🌈🧡

Do you remember bear Seida? 🐻 The 25-year-old former dancing bear has been flourishing since her arrival at BEAR SANCTUARY Belitsa. 🌄 Seida is the youngest of a group of three Serbian bears rescued by FOUR PAWS under dramatic circumstances in the winter of 2009.

🚨 UPDATE on elephant Noor Jehan! Our team arrived today in Karachi and had to come up with a solution to examine the elephant in pain: a crane and ropes will maintain her while under sedation. Send your best wishes to Noor Jehan and our team for their examination tomorrow! ❤
