First Snapshots of Shirley



Shirley and Tarra were friends from the start!

July 6, 1999.
Shirley and Tarra liked each other right from the start! Shirley showed Tarra all her injuries that she received when attacked by another elephant at the circus. Tarra sympathetically inspected each injury and the two elephants caressed each other with their trunks.



Fruits and Vegetables were waiting for Shirley.

Fruits and vegetables awaited Shirley when she entered the Sanctuary Barn. Cabbages, oranges, watermelon, squash... all sorts of yummy food to show Shirley how much we already loved her! Tarra squashed the watermelon, then helped herself to much of it.



It takes a Village to move an Elephant!

There are so many people to thank who contributed to Shirley's move. Included in this picture are friends from the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo, drivers of the van, Argo Films, and Sanctuary personnel.
