PAWS IS HOME TO ASIAN AND AFRICAN ELEPHANTS
Have You Taken the Pledge to Help Elephants? PAWS has launched a new campaign called Take the Pledge! to bring attention to the use of elephants for tourism and elephant “encounters” overseas and in the U.S. The only way to stop this form of exploitation is through education and by decreasing demand for these attractions. Read more about PAWS' "Take the Pledge" campaign here. At PAWS, we care for bears every day. (One of our bears, Ben, is pictured above.) Bears get far less notice than exotic animals like elephants and tigers – although once you learn more about bears, they’re just as fascinating. * * * *
Take the Pledge for Bears! At PAWS, we care for bears every day. (One of our bears, Ben, is pictured above.) Bears get far less notice than exotic animals like elephants and tigers – although once you learn more about bears, they’re just as fascinating. As part of our Take the Pledge for Bears campaign, PAWS has been drawing attention to an animal that deserves more of our respect and protection in the wild and in captivity. For example: Each month in our newsletters during 2023, we provided interesting and sometimes little-known facts about bears – their intelligence, agility, and complex behaviors. Captive bears are overlooked animals – and they suffer more than you know. YOU can make a difference! Click here to learn more, sign our petition, and take the pledge for bears! * * * *

Tiger Cub Cleo, Settles Into Sanctuary Life Cleo is taking to sanctuary life beautifully, since her arrival at PAWS. This tiger cub has been through so much in her young life, but she is resilient and full of energy! When confiscated from a private facility by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in late February, Cleo suffered from severe Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD). This very painful condition, caused by inadequate nutrition, left her with multiple bone fractures and deformities. She was temporarily housed at the Oakland Zoo, where she received excellent care and proper nutrition for seven weeks. Cleo arrived at PAWS and immediately endeared herself to PAWS’ caregiving staff. Although MBD has caused permanent damage to bones in her neck and legs, she is growing stronger and more active and playful every day. We love seeing Cleo explore her spacious enclosure, where she stalks and pounces playfully among the tall grasses or relaxes under a tree while enjoying the sights, scents, and sounds of nature. Cleo loves water, and she enjoys splashing and soaking in her pool. She is calm, confident, and friendly, and our animal care staff is smitten with her. "We are grateful to the Oakland Zoo for providing safe, emergency placement after she was confiscated, and for giving her a head start on the long road to recuperation and healing," said PAWS Director of Veterinary Services Dr. Jackie Gai. PAWS provides the perfect combination of expert, individualized care, and a peaceful, natural setting. With sound nutrition, dedicated daily care, and veterinary attention, when necessary, Cleo is in excellent hands. Welcome home, little Cleo! Read PAWS’ press release welcoming Cleo here. * * * *

You Can Help Captive Tigers! By far, the largest number of animals rescued by PAWS are tigers – making them one of the animals most desperately in need of your help. We have rescued tigers from cub petting operations, circuses, roadside zoos, and private owners. Caring for tigers is expensive. It costs $20,000 to care for one healthy tiger for a year – about $400 a week per big cat. That’s why we need your help. Your donation to PAWS works in two important ways: You provide rescued tigers with large habitats filled with trees, grass, pools, and native vegetation. Our expert staff provides daily care, veterinary attention, nutritious food, and 24/7 monitoring. You support PAWS’ efforts to end the exploitation of tigers for entertainment.
