Kept in cages out by the gas pumps as a “gimmick” to help draw in customers… these tigers were rescued after the USDA helped secure their release. They no longer have to breathe exhaust fumes or lay in diesel fuel, and now romp and play freely in wide open habitats at The Wild Animal Sanctuary.

Gala
Gala was born nearly dead in a tiny steel circus cage in Mexico. Her parents had been living in the 5X7 cage for years and would give birth to cubs repeatedly – only to have them die from the lack of care and nutrition. Gala was rescued the day she was born, so she now has a real chance at life, living freely at The Sanctuary.

Rosie
When a breeding compound in Ohio was shut down for more than 900 counts of animal abuse, the USDA contacted The Wild Animal Sanctuary to rescue 7 Black Bears. Rosie had lived in a concrete and steel cage for nearly 20 years… but now roams freely in a wide open natural habitat.

Masai
Masai was born and raised in Hollywood for the film industry, but he refused to “act” for his trainers – so they looked for a place to dump him. The Sanctuary rescued him, and he now lives in one of the Sanctuary’s large acreage habitats as King of the Lion Pride.
