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:

Debbie is calm and predictable. Wherever Ronnie leads, Debbie follows. Debbie can be independent, but spends most of her time within the herd swimming in the upper pond or grazing alongside Ronnie. Her favorite food is bananas.
