Thank you to all that donated. We have had an outstanding response to this rescue, but we still need to reach our goal!
On 22 June, FOUR PAWS received an official appeal from the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, urging us save two 10-year-old female bears.
Both bears, Julia and Zoya, were living in small, cramped cages and their faces were covered with scars and bruises.
FOUR PAWS quickly INTERVENED AND RESCUED Julia and Zoya. Living in miserable conditions, there was an extremely high risk that the bears would be sold to an illegal bear baiting station if FOUR PAWS did not act immediately.
Julia and Zoya are now safe and sound at the BEAR RESCUE CENTRE Nadiya; however, FOUR PAWS only has one free enclosure and in order to properly accommodate the bears, further construction work is necessary. Building new fences and a new adaption box will cost £14,000.
Julia and Zoya still need our help-every donation counts.
