BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr

The FOUR PAWS forever home for abused brown bears in the  Ukraine since 2016

7/26/2022

BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr provides a species-appropriate home and lifelong care to brown bears abused as baiting or circus bears, kept in small cages next to restaurants to attract customers, or held in other inadequate conditions. In their new home, our rescued bears can now follow their natural instincts. After a life in horrible captive circumstances, they (re)discover a species-appropriate life. Relaxed rambles through the green landscapes or exuberant splashing in the ponds: in BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr there are a variety of activities for every bear.
