Welcome to Sal's Adopt A Moon Bear
Please join me in caring for our adopted Moon Bear, Jigsaw!
- JIGSAW at Animals Asia's Tam Dao sanctuary, Vietnam, March 2011
In 1998 Jill Robinson founded the Animals Asia Foundation to rescue and rehabilitate these bears and for many years I have supported its work. Animals Asia now operates two Moon Bear sanctuaries, one in China and the other in Vietnam.
In November 2009 I decided to do something more substantial so I committed to the rescue and ongoing care of one of Animals Asia's bears. I set up Adoptamoonbear.com and, in just over twelve months, with the help of many people like you, raised the required $14,500 to assist Animals Asia rescue and begin the rehabilitation of a lovely young male bear in Vietnam.
Today Jigsaw is enjoying his new life at Animals Asia's bear sanctuary situated in the Tam Dao National Park, a few hours from Hanoi, Vietnam, free from the pain and suffering of his past!
When Animals Asia rescues a bear, it commits to the bear's care for the term of its natural life. Our continued sponsorship supports Animals Asia in honouring this commitment to our cheeky, fun-loving Jigsaw.
Join me now and help give Jigsaw the healthy, happy life he deserves.
If you who are new to this website and wondering....why the name “Jigsaw” ??

Very exciting news here in Vietnam with the 200th bear rescued by Animals Asia! Remember, I was the 39th bear rescued in 2010 so we’ve come a long way since then. And the most important news is that the Vietnam Government has decreed that it will be illegal for people to own bears by 2022! Yeah!
Meanwhile I’m SUPER excited because my 2018 puzzle is almost finished – only TEN pieces to go!! Woo Hoo!! Will you help me finish it!
