Meet Lady! Our Next Rescue!

People have asked about our next rescue…..well here she is. Meet Lady. The judicial agreement gives us 45 days to bring her to Elephant Sanctuary Brazil, to live out the rest of her life with Maia, Rana, and Ramba. Lady’s Rescue Page →

Lady is a 50-year old ex-circus elephant who was confiscated and sent to the zoo in João Pessoa in 2013. Unfortunately, Lady lives alone and is suffering from severe foot issues. She is one of the three worst we have seen in all of our time with elephants. Lady is in need of specialized in-depth care and lots of it. While we know being at the sanctuary can heal an elephant’s spirit, Lady will require a tremendous amount of physical healing as well. Sadly, the degeneration of her feet is so progressed that our goal is not to fully heal them, but to improve their condition, make her more comfortable, and allow her to enjoy sanctuary and the love and support of other elephants.

You can learn more about her at the link above and be a part of changing her life by donating towards the cost of her rescue. We are starting the fundraiser with a $10,000 match, so each donation goes twice as far.

Ramba has been a perfect example of how even just a few days at sanctuary is life-changing. Please help us offer that same healing to Lady. Please donate to bring Lady home to Elephant Sanctuary Brazil.

Thank you

My heartfelt thanks to the long work of the Animal Protection Agencies for their long campaign for Lady’s release. I can hardly believe the state of her feet, and goodness knows what else you will find. I will def donate shortly, bit short at the mo, but so glad Lady is coming, will she be given painkillers for the journey? Or?

Poor Lady, those feet are terrible. Donation sent in Memory of Tina from The Vancouver Zoo. My first introduction to the plight of elephants.
