Wow! Holly knew she was safe i her new home, just one day after being rescued!

I love supporting Wildlife SOS! It is amazing to hear about the elephants they want to rescue and see people work together to make it happen! Their most recent rescue was of Holly.

From Wildlife SOS Facebook Post December 24, 2018:

#UpdateonHolly: This morning, #Holly went out for a small walk in the Field of Dreams and was busy exploring the surroundings curiously with her trunk reaching out. As she is completely blind in both eyes, our keepers are accompanying her 24 x 7 to avoid her bumping into trees. She seems quite relaxed and calm, may be she knows that we’d never leave her alone. While we wish that Holly could have come to our notice earlier, we take some comfort in knowing that at least now, she is getting the care and love she deserves! … A trunkful of thanks to all our supporters from our sweet elephant Holly!

I love The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee! I have been supporting them for many years and this year, I am sponsoring Shirley!

I own “The Urban Elephant” documentary from 2001 and have been sharing this video with anyone who is willing to watch it. My brother wasn’t too thrilled about sitting through it when I brought it up. But after he saw it, he told me he was so glad I made him watch it and really, REALLY enjoyed it!

“On July 6, 1999, Shirley became the fourth resident of The Elephant Sanctuary, joining Tarra, Jenny, and Barbara. At The Sanctuary, Shirley experienced a very loving reunion with Jenny. Research showed the two elephants had been in the same circus 23 years earlier! This memorable event is the subject of an Emmy-winning National Geographic documentary, ‘The Urban Elephant'” writes The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.

Watch the 12 minute trailer! You will love this story!

Help Rescue Animals Like Raju the Elephant

After a life of shackles for 50 years, Raju was rescued by Wildlife SOS

Raju lived for 50 years in spiked shackles, being fed paper and plastic trash. I am an empathetic person and bawled when I heard his story. I will never understand the cruelty of people!

When the rescuers showed up to take off his shackles and release him, he cried tears down his face! Raju has been free for two years and I now cry tears of joy right along with him!

I am thankful for Wildlife S.O.S for taking a stand and rescuing this incredible creature, who has more compassion, intelligence and love than most humans these days!

It is a very expensive, legal battle to confiscate animals from torturous lives. Please consider donating to them or another rescue or conservation group. Those of us with hearts for what is right, need to give to those who are working so hard to make a huge difference!
