ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! 🙀
We apparently can’t trust the big platforms to do the right thing for Bella and all the other puppies being illegally sold on social media, but we trust YOU to help us save them from this useless suffering!
➡️ If you ever spot a suspicious ad on any platform - Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube… - use our online form and report the case to our puppy trade investigation team. 🚨 (search for « puppy trade reporting tool » on your browser)
Do you remember Bella? A few weeks ago, we introduced our latest investigation on the ruthless pet trade raging behind our screens, this time in Bulgaria.
And there are a LOT more issues that these unscrupulous marketplace users are trying to hide: they use tricks and play with unknowing buyers to sell unhealthy dogs… illegally!
Our veterinarian and FOUR PAWS colleague Ulrike has spent hours meticulously watching undercover footage of various dog sellers… and for Bella’s owner and the others, the verdict is unanimous:
❌ Puppies are being sold across borders, underage, without the necessary vaccination or identification.
❌ Animals are bred and kept in inappropriate conditions, some in overcrowded, dirty, outdoor pens.
❌ Many of them have undergone painful (and again, ILLEGAL) procedures to remove parts of their ears or tails…
Help us uncover the ugly truth, as this is the only way for the big platforms to finally stop enabling this cruel trade and to impose sanctions on all the callous sellers.
REPORT, don’t shop. 📣

A second chance, and then another. 🐻
After years of hardship, Frol and Frosia were rescued in 2020 and given a safe home at BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr. 🌳
Late last year, the beloved duo moved to our partner sanctuary, BEAR SANCTUARY Belitsa in Bulgaria, where they continue to thrive.
This summer has been filled with pool time, playful wrestling matches, and enrichment treats from their caring team. 💚

This footage, taken in March & April 2026, shows brown bear Tim in Zoo park Rožman, Slovenia, and it’s heartbreaking. 💔
These conditions are being considered “acceptable” under Slovenian law, and the owner of the zoo, Mr. Rožmanec, claims that Tim is “doing well”!
BUT, Tim is not doing well! Tim is suffering!
Tim is exhibiting stereotypical behaviors resulting from stress caused by his very poor, unstimulating, and very small cage.
Tim is exhibiting these repetitive and compulsive behaviors by walking along the bars at the front of his cage, from left to right, and pressing his body against the bars, which is known to be a psychological disorder.
This is all the space Tim has known since he was a tiny cub.
A tattered ball and a wooden block hanging from the ceiling of his cage — that’s all he has to keep him busy!
This is Tim’s life - 24/7.
Tim deserves so much more than this.
At BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach we have a 3,500-square-meter natural enclosure ready for him. Here, Tim would have plenty of space to roam, dig, forage for food, and engage with the enrichment activities provided for him. Our offer to rescue Tim still stands, and we could relocate him at any time!
While rescued bears Felix and Mici are finally living the lives they deserve at our sanctuary, Tim remains trapped in a barren cage, deprived of everything a brown bear needs. 💔
Every day he stays there is another day of suffering.

He cannot wait any longer. Tim deserves better. BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach is the solution.

This World Orangutan Day, were celebrating just how incredible orangutans are. 🦧❤️
What started as a friendship between Cantik and Bhima at ORANGUTAN FOREST SCHOOL has grown into something truly special. Over the last two years, their bond has blossomed, with Cantik now caring for Bhima in a way that closely resembles a mother-infant relationship.
Today, Cantik is a role model Bhima can learn from and she even shares food! 🍈
Watch the video to see their heartwarming bond in action. 💚

🐈🍖🐕 This video is difficult to watch. If you find animal cruelty distressing, you may want to skip it.
If you do decide to watch, please visit our website and social media channels to learn more about the horrific dog and cat meat trade in Vietnam. 🇻🇳 Every year, millions of dogs and cats are stolen and brutally killed.
After watching this video, we dont need to tell you how cruel this trade is. It has to end. 🛑
Together, we can help stop this horrific cruelty once and for all.

Will the frozen pond hold? ❄️
Freya was determined to find out at BEAR SANCTUARY Müritz! 🐻
We thought the ice might crack… but when it finally did, the on-site team was so shocked they didn’t capture the moment fully!
Still, Freya handled it like a true queen. 👑
Wait for it… the best part is at the end!
