Many of the animals that come into our care are extremely traumatised, haunted by the horrors of their past. Many were kept in unspeakable conditions - chained or locked up in tiny cages, neglected and abused.

Through adoptions, these animals have had their lives transformed! As they undergo vital rehabilitation important survival skills are taught, as we always aim to release them back into the wild. However, some animals stay with us forever and depend on us for lifelong care because they are no longer able to fend for themselves.

Virtual adoptions allow people to support our animal rescue and conservation projects and help care for rescued animals in a unique and special way.

Our adoptions connect anyone around the world to our rescue centers directly. Our projects include:

🦧 Orangutans and 👀 Slow Lorises in Indonesia 🇮🇩

🐻 Brown Bears in Armenia 🇦🇲

🐾 Sloth Bears in India 🇮🇳

🐵 Howler Monkeys in Costa Rica 🇨🇷
