  • When we thought about going to Kosovo we never imagined we would be only feet away from full grown brown bears! The Four Paws Bear Sanctuary in Prishtina, Kosovo exceeded all expectations. They have saved 20 bears, almost all from horrible cruel conditions. Come travel from the capital city of Kosovo with us out to visit the amazing place these bears now call home. Kosovo is saving the bears and has ended the “restaurant bear” industry and it is so cool!

    Appreciate they gave you hand sanitizer on the bus, the little things help nowadays... and it's nice to find friendly people to steer you in the right direction off the bus. Glad Kosovo helped save bears from terrible conditions like that and you could stick around for feeding time and even got a ride all the way back.

    So lovely of the bus driver and the lady that works there to show you the way☺️ things like that really make our day! You sound like us, when we went to visit the wild animal sanctuary we were pleased they were rescued but worried it might be like a zoo. Brown bears are adorable! 🐻

    I can’t believe people were able to privately own bears before. The conditions that those restaurant bears lived in sounded horrible. This sanctuary looks truly amazing. I love how they have the names of the bears and a little backstory and bio of each. The photos of the rescues are just heartbreaking! I’m glad that the bears are well taken care of in the sanctuary and have space to roam around. What a cool experience!

    • @DjusLife

    So glad to hear that there is a sanctuary for the bears. Can you even imagine going to a restaurant and seeing an innocent bear in a cage.
    Love how they showed the rescue, means that they actually proud of the bears.
    Loved the quiz through the labyrinth.
    What an awesome experience seeing these beautiful animals. Loved that you got to see them on two legs. So cool.

It was such a cool place to see and learn about. Last night we just read they have one in Ukraine where they have saved bears from being used to train hunting dogs in horrible cruel ways. Had no idea four paws was such a big organization.
