Finding Sanctuary
Since 1995, twenty-four elephants have found sanctuary in Tennessee. They live out their lives with the freedom to roam the natural habitat of the Sanctuary, making new friends and special relationships as the years pass.
To read each elephant's unique story visit our 'Meet the Elephants' page and stay up-to-date with weekly posts in the Ele-Notes.
There's lots more to see at the Sanctuary:

Barbara was from Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia. Upon arrival she was quite thin due to a wasting disease which had plagued her almost her entire life. Barbara was wise beyond compare, calm, regal and caring, the second elephant to come to the Sanctuary. She was the inspiration to begin expanding the Sanctuary's habitat. Barbara's graceful passing occurred on May 18, 2001.
