Your support provides a peaceful, natural home for elephants like Gypsy, Nicholas, and Prince, who came from circuses; Mara, who narrowly escaped being sold to another circus; and Thika and Toka, retired from a zoo.

At PAWS, they roam rolling hills, forage naturally, enjoy a good mud bath – and live with dignity and respect.

Let’s start the holiday season with joy, generosity, and a big win for the elephants. Share this email and invite others to give BIG, too!

Thank you – from all of us at PAWS, and from the elephants!
