By adopting Max, you are helping to rewrite the story of a bear who spent 14 years locked in a tiny, welded cage at a bus depot. Max arrived malnourished and traumatised, having never felt grass beneath his paws. Today, he lives a life of peace and adventure at the sanctuary in the Armenian mountains, where he spends his days digging in the soil and napping in the sun.

Because Max cannot be released into the wild, your adoption helps provide the lifelong commitment he deserves. Join Max’s journey today and receive exclusive updates on his new life, free from neglect.
