Un-Bear-Able

Situation

Mitsos, a 15-year-old European brown bear, is a very lucky animal. Well, at least he is now. For the first seven years of his life, Mitsos was a dancing bear and that meant he was treated horribly and often starved. Mitsos was rescued from his abusive owners in 1992 and sent to the ARCTUROS sanctuary in Nymphaio, Greece a year later.

When Mitsos arrived at the sanctuary, he was in terrible shape both physically and mentally. As a trained performing bear, his keepers had knocked all his teeth out so he wouldn't bite. Because of this, he had to have several operations to fix his dental problems. The staff at the 7 sanctuary worked around the clock trying to restore poor Mitsos to health. And they succeeded! 8

Unfortunately, Mitsos is not the only bear to arrive at the sanctuary needing help. Other bears come to the sanctuary because they have been orphaned after their mothers have been killed by 10 uncaring hunters. These young bears have not learned the skills needed to survive in the wild and would die if left on their own.

The ARCTUROS sanctuary now houses Mitsos and twelve other bears. Their vet bills, food and general upkeep all cost money. You can help by adopting Mitsos or any of the 14 other bears for a year. You can also donate money to help them and other bears in the wild. Just think, there are only 150 brown bears left in Europe. By giving just a little, you would be giving so much.
