"Give BIG for PAWS' Elephants"

Elephants are the most expensive animals to care for at the Performing Animal Welfare Society's (PAWS) 2,300-acre ARK 2000 captive wildlife sanctuary in Northern California – and there are six of them, all rescued or retired from circuses and zoos.

How much does it cost to feed and care for ONE healthy elephant?

Approximately:

$75,000+ per year

$6,250+ per month

$1,440+ per week

$205+ per day

THAT'S ALMOST $40,000 PER MONTH FOR 6 ELEPHANTS!

Our goal is to raise $450,000 – the cost of one year's care for PAWS' six elephants.

Elephants like Gypsy and Nicholas who were forced to perform in the circus, where elephants are typically immobilized in chains and controlled by pain and punishment. Or Prince, who was born in a zoo, torn away from his mother, and sold to the circus before he was two years old.

Today, Gypsy, Nicholas, Prince, and all of the elephants living at ARK 2000, roam expansive natural habitats filled with rolling hills, grass, trees, lakes and the quiet of nature - thanks to the generosity of people like you.

Your gift does so much for the elephants. You supply them with a wholesome diet, 24/7 expert care, veterinary treatments, specialized medications for the older elephants. . . and boundless love.

Please give BIG for the elephants at PAWS today!
