The Countdown Has Begun – Mici Is Almost Here! ✨🐻
We’re in the final stages of preparation to welcome Mici to her new home at BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach! 🐻💚
Our team is buzzing with excitement as we get everything ready for her big arrival. From a cosy den to a lush green enclosure, and round-the-clock care from her dedicated caretakers – we’re making sure Mici has everything she needs for a fresh start.

Vet Check Update from Azerbaijan 🐾
During our recent trip to Azerbaijan, our trusted vets Julia and Frank from IZW in Berlin carried out their third veterinary mission in the country. This time, it was a special one – they treated the last two out of 21 captive bears currently under the care of the government! ✨
Mother-and-daughter duo Magdela and Aynur received a general health check-up and treatment where necessary.
🩺 Magdela:
Magdela was in good shape overall, though she had a mild case of diarrhoea for which she received antibiotics. She is also missing a few claws and toes due to unknown reasons. Our vets removed two damaged teeth and prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. 🔬
🩺 Aynur:
Magdela’s daughter Aynur is smaller than she should be for her age and recovering from a bacterial infection that caused diarrhoea and gut inflammation. 🦠
Unfortunately, Aynur had several broken teeth, most likely from bar biting. They were safely removed, and she was prescribed antibiotics and pain relief. Julia and Frank also found a small scar on her eye, but thankfully this does not seem to affect her vision!
In the course of the three vet missions Julia and Frank have also castrated all male bears so that no unwanted breeding can happen anymore. Were incredibly glad we could contribute to improving the lives of these bears and thank all stakeholders on site for their trust and support ! 🐻

![🆘 #EmergencyMissionArgentina – Our First Update! | FOUR PAWS | [SUBS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wJaErtzoVqw/mqdefault.jpg "🆘 #EmergencyMissionArgentina – Our First Update! | FOUR PAWS | [SUBS]
🆘 #EmergencyMissionArgentina – Our First Update! 🇦🇷
Together with our Chief Programme Officer, Luciana DAbramo, the on-site teams first task at the former zoo Luján was to map all enclosures and classify the animals according to their level of need. 📋🐾
Together, step by step, we can give them the future they deserve! ➡️ https://bit.ly/emergency-mission-argentina
Even though we had previously visited the site, it was still overwhelming to see so many animals in urgent need of care. 💔 Years and years of experience in the field now prove invaluable — and deeply necessary. 💪
Our team worked tirelessly to adapt the existing enclosures to improve husbandry management, provide more space, and enhance animal safety. Transport crates were also built, allowing the team to transfer animals to other enclosures on the premises without having to anaesthetise them. 🦁
The goal is to get everything ready for the veterinary assessment, during which many of these animals will receive a proper medical examination for the very first time in their lives. 🩺
Lioness Lucy will be one of the first animals to be examined, together with tigress Flora, who suffers from severely ingrown nails causing her intense pain and difficulty moving properly, as well as the two bears, Gordo and Florencia. 🐻🐻
We are proud of what has already been achieved, and we are eager to move ahead with the veterinary checks for the animals. ✨️
A new chapter in their lives starts now!
Your support can make this emergency mission possible! Many animals urgently need veterinary checks and treatment. Every donation — big or small — makes a real difference in their lives. 💚

FOUR PAWS UK and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs brought together Parliamentarians and campaigners to celebrate the launch of the Animal Welfare Strategy! 🐶👏
This really is cause for celebration. The Animal Welfare Strategy is one of the most ambitious and compassionate plans the UK has ever put forward for protecting animals. From our beloved companion animals to wildlife and farmed animals, it lays out a bold vision for a kinder future - one that could create real, lasting change for generations to come.

![Flora is LOVING her new life! | FOUR PAWS | [SUBS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xIgrniVgir4/mqdefault.jpg "Flora is LOVING her new life! | FOUR PAWS | [SUBS]
⚙️ Turn on *SUBTITLES* [CC]
Flora is an active now three-year-old bear who was rescued last December from illegal keeping in Albania. Very likely taken from the wild as a cub, she spent the first years of her life in a barren cage. No trees, no fresh soil to forage, no den to hibernate... she had nothing else but a bed of rocks.
...Until FOUR PAWS came to the rescue and transported her all the way from Albania to her new forever home in Germany! 🚑
Each bear we rescue settle in very differently once they arrive in our sanctuaries. Some need time to carefully observe their new surroundings, some shyly spend weeks indoors to take it all in...
Flora fast-tracked her adaptation: the clever young bear knows how to keep her caretakers busy, as she curiously utilises and understands all the enrichment and amenities in a record time.
🛝Remember the swing that was prepared by the caretakers using old fire hoses? Rocking it.
🪜 The platform that was built for her to climb and rest? Having a blast.
🧂The stimulating scents and tasty new food she was offered to try? Sniffed and slurped, and she now has a list of favourites.
⚠️ Floras story is far from being an isolated case, as many wild animals are still illegally kept in Albania. Bears and big cats that will never get the chance to be rescued and experience the species-appropriate life they deserve in a sanctuary. FOUR PAWS will keep fighting to end the private keeping of wild animals in the country and to put a stop to the unnecessary suffering of wild species for human entertainment. 😾
