For as little as $5 you can help!


$5 Pot of Honey - It’s true, bears really do love honey, and AAF's rescued moon bears are no exception. Having to search out tasty treats like honey keeps their intelligent minds stimulated while fortifying their bodies.

$10 Basket of Fruit -The bears savor every mouthful of the delicious mix of fruit that is hidden around their enclosures. Sniffing out the fruit can keep them occupied for hours. Medicated fruit shakes and fruit kabobs also help keep the bears alive when they come in from the bile farms emaciated, undernourished and ill.

$30 Bag of Mazuri Bear Food -These high-protein pellets have been specially formulated for AAF's rescued bears. Mazuri’s nutritionists have factored in the damage to the bears’ health caused by the abuse on the farms.

$40 A Hanging-Basket Bed - Every rescued bear's dream (as seen in the photo above). Sleeping is a favorite pastime of rescued bears, especially during the cold winter months. They love nothing more than curling up for a snooze in their strong metal-framed baskets, especially once they’ve been filled with fresh straw or greenery. These beds are built for one bear, but are strong enough for two or even three.
