The Difference 6 Weeks Makes!

Lady Before and After

Tomorrow marks six weeks since Lady arrived at Sanctuary, and we talk a lot about her and the changes that we’ve observed – changes in her eyes, in her confidence, in her spirit, but we know photos speak louder than words.

Here is an image our team took a few days before she left the zoo to come to Sanctuary next to a photo of her from this week.

This is the difference six weeks make. She’s come a long way, and she will go further still. #sanctuaryheals

    Look at her! She looks great, and I can hardly believe how much better her front feet look – the swelling appears to have decreased substantially , and from all your reports her confidence growing by the day. Very well done all, and long may she enjoy her new life. Would it be possible to have a larger photo of her showing her body as it is now? Muscle growth feet eyes etc? Many thanks

    Yes, what a difference in 6 weeks! The rim of her left ear looks pigmented again, her eyes are more expressive. Lady will get better and better for sure. I’m so glad to see her improvements. It’s amazing what love and respect can accomplish.

    Thank you again for what you are doing.

    They say a picture is worth a thousand words and they are right. I am so happy for her and the Sanctuary. I am sure it makes people notice and will want to donate even more to these wonderful elephants as they will know their donations are not waste but treated with respect..

    Speechless but again, once again educated with eye-opening facts of what neglect and selfish human desires does to these beautiful giants and all of God’s creatures. Hugs and soft strokes to Lady and her new adventures.

    Simply remarkable! She is such a beautiful Lady and indeed sanctuary life has healing powers! It makes me even feel better just watching her exploring and waving that gorgeous trunk as she journeys through ESB.

    This one year really has flown by and now she has become very independent. I hope she realises that the will be there for the rest of her life. Or do elephants live in the moment?

      For the most part, they are all about being very present.
