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:

The first male elephant to reside at the Sanctuary, Ned arrived November 2008 as a result of a USDA confiscation. He was at the Sanctuary to recover. His favorite food was oatmeal.
