Cocolina lived encaged in the same zoo in Tecuci (Galati County), where Nadia and Igor lived. The presence of the two bears made her captivity easier to bare. The girls built a great and strong friendship during the years spent behind bars and in the summer of 2009 when Cocolina was also brought and released in the Sanctuary after 7 years of captivity they just enjoyed each other’s presence and were happy to share the same forest enclosure. Now they are playing and bathing together, having always Igor watching over them.
An adoption certificate is a symbolic way to support a bear at the AMP Libearty Sanctuary through a one-off donation of a fixed amount. As a token of our gratitude, you will receive a personalised digital certificate by email, featuring the name of your chosen bear and the adopter’s name.
Your donation contributes to the bears’ food, veterinary care, habitat maintenance and overall well-being, while also helping us rescue other bears still living in captivity.
The certificate can also be given as a gift to someone special, making it a meaningful way to celebrate an important occasion while supporting a worthy cause.
What Does Sponsoring a Bear Mean?
Sponsoring a bear is a symbolic gesture through which you contribute to the care and well-being of rescued bears at the AMP Libearty Sanctuary. Your monthly donation helps cover the costs of food, veterinary care, habitat maintenance and all the resources needed to give the bears a safe and peaceful life.
It is a simple way to support the bears month after month and give them the chance to live with dignity, far from the suffering they endured in captivity.
Why sponsor a bear?
Every bear at the AMP Libearty Sanctuary has a story. Many were rescued from tiny cages, inadequate zoos or other captive environments where they endured years of suffering. Through sponsoring, you become part of their journey towards healing.
You will receive regular email updates about your adopted bear, including photographs and news about life at the sanctuary. This allows you to follow their progress and see the difference your support makes each month.
Complete the form, selecting your monthly contribution and support period (minimum 3 months).
Set up recurring payments through the donation platform. Future payments will be processed automatically.
You will receive confirmation by email, along with the adoption documents.
