Wishing all our supporters a very happy Valentine’s Day tomorrow, and with a huge THANK YOU for all the love and support you send to our precious rescued animals.

Our two lovebirds on this year’s card, Goliath and Coralie, were rescued from a circus in France, and will be soaking up the sun and roaring sweet nothings to each other in their forever home in Africa – Goliath and Coralie’s first Valentine’s Day at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary.

As always, this is the time of year when all of our residents get boxes of hay with catnip and other scents, painted with special messages of love.  This picture shows Goliath and Coralie only have eyes for each other rather than their Valentine’s gift (above)!  They remind us of our much loved, and missed, Tarzan and Tanya, who would often step over the gifts or treats and wander off together!  Be sure to watch our special video of the lions and tigers getting treats here.

This Valentine’s Day, would you consider adopting Goliath and Coralie, as they embark on many years of Valentine’s celebrations at ADIWS? And we also do gift adoptions! See our US store | UK store.

Finally, please don’t forget two cubs seized from the illegal pet trade by authorities in Israel – BenTzur and Ori need you TODAY! We are working as fast as we can to get them to safety at the ADIWS. Please give BenTzur and Ori a big hearted Valentine’s Day welcome to the ADI family, let them know they are heading for their forever home where they will be loved, and safe, under your protection.
