This year we open the door to each new resident of FOUR PAWS Bear Sanctuaries, 2017. 

A new day, a new bear and today we open the door to bear Riku! 
Bear Riku is no longer a “sad bear from Albania”, FOUR PAWS team turned him into a “happy bear”, who now lives an appropriate life at his new home. He was kept chained in a tiny shack since he was a little cub, at his owner`s yard next to the house, in a village in south – east of Albania. FOUR PAWS team got an emergency call from the local inspectors, and by 4th of May, the bear was transferred safely to his wonderful soundings of DANCING BEARS PARK Belitsa, Bulgaria, which is run together with the Fondation Brigitte Bardot. It`s been seven months since Riku`s arrival at the sanctuary, and it`s incredible how he has improved!
