PAWS’ January 2026 Newsletter
By PAWS
PAWS’ latest newsletter highlights the inspiring progress of several animals rescued from neglect last year, including Casey the playful mountain lion, Dally the den-loving black bear, Meg the social tiger, Pasha the vocal lion, and Archer the communicative bobcat—all now thriving in safe, enriching habitats thanks to supporter generosity. The sanctuary also celebrates African elephant Mara’s 46th birthday and 36 years at PAWS, honoring her long, cherished life alongside her friend Thika. The newsletter encourages symbolic animal adoptions for Valentine’s Day to help fund lifelong care, shares findings from World Animal Protection’s sobering report on the continued cruelty of elephant tourism in Thailand, and invites supporters to the 2026 PAWS International Captive Wildlife Conference in Sacramento. With no government funding, PAWS relies on donations, wish list contributions, and adoptions to provide expert, individualized care for elephants, big cats, bears, and other rescued wildlife.
