Adopt LR98 or LR99

Meet LR98 and LR99, two bears who were taken from the wild as cubs, likely orphaned by poachers. They were trafficked into the illegal wildlife trade and sold as 'pets'. When they were rescued, they were found confined to a small birdcage.

Upon arriving at our Cub Nursery in our Luang Prabang Wildlife Sanctuary back in September 2021, LR98 and LR99 were around 5 months old. Now settled in our sanctuary, they have the opportunity to heal and thrive in a safe and nurturing environment.

By adopting either LR98 or LR99, or both, you'll be helping provide for their daily needs - a healthy diet, health checks, enrichment activities and a lovely habitat with climbing platforms, caves, swimming pools and hammocks. You'll get to name your fur child, we'll send you a sponsorship certificate and send updates every March and September and of course we'd love for you to come and visit.

To adopt and name a bear we ask that you cover the annual cost of basic care, which amounts to AU$3,000 per year (GBP£1,650 / US$2,000 / EU€1,900). This covers a healthy diet, vet treatment, enrichment activities and more. We're looking for adoptive parents who see this as a long term commitment and wish to continue to support their fur-child on an annual basis. You can choose to make monthly, bi-annual or annual installments.

Watch their arrival at our sanctuary here below. Please contact us if interested in adopting LR98 or LR99 (or both!) or another bear at contact@freethebears.org
