Love is wild
Blog
Around the world, animals form deep bonds – with their friends, their families and their communities. These connections are a powerful reminder that animals are not here for us, but for themselves and each other.
Too often, captivity and exploitation tear these bonds apart. But when animals are rescued and given the chance to live safely, something beautiful happens: they begin to heal and they begin to connect again.
This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating a few of the real friendships you’ve helped make possible:

Brune and Bardy: Best friends at Balkasar Bear Sanctuary
Brune and Bardy are inseparable. At Balkasar Bear Sanctuary, they can often be found playing hide and seek together in the tall grass — a simple joy they were once denied. Today, they’re free to be bears, together.

Tunga and Trovão: Playtime partners at Tamanduá Institute
These two rescued anteaters love playing together – especially when a cardboard box is involved. Safe, curious and full of personality, Tunga and Trovão are a beautiful example of what’s possible when animals are given a second chance.

Malee and Kammoon: A lifelong bond at Somboon Legacy Foundation
Rescued from the same entertainment venue, Malee and Kammoon have stayed close ever since. Today, these two elephants spend much of their time side by side, finally able to live in peace and companionship.
When animals are free to be who they are, love is wild.
Thank you for helping make lives like these possible.
