The animals who live at the International Exotic Animal Sanctuary, due to truly unfortunate circumstances, will live their lives in a captive setting, rather than in the wild. This, however, does not mean they are domesticated! Many people have the misconception that, because they were raised by humans, tigers, lions, and other animals living in a captive setting, will be ...

Many of you will remember back in June when the three baby black bears arrived at IEAS after being orphaned. The three little bears were due to be euthanized a day after their mother was killed by an irresponsible hunter. Wyoming wildlife authorities called IEAS on a Saturday; by the following Monday, a generous benefactor had his private jet landing in Pinedale, Wyomin...

Just hours before this bear was set to be euthanized, IEAS received a news flash from the Fish and Game, who was trying to find a home for this cub. IEAS had less than ten ho...

A month ago, IEAS continued fulfilling its mission by rescuing two new cubs to the Sanctuary. A three month old mountain lion cub and seven month old American black bear cub have begun settling into their new home, and we couldn’t be happier that we were able to rescue them!
The mountain lion cub is now named Thor. This little boy was brought to IEAS by th...
The pictures below represent some of our success stories in rehabilitating cats that came to the Sanctuary 
either resentful of humans or aggressive towards humans. They did not trust humans and therefore considered humans as adversaries. With our unique behavioral enrichment program based on affection, love, and respect, you can see how their attitudes have changed.
Our Animal Behaviorist, Louis Dorfman, uses no discipline, treating the cats as respected sentient beings, and their response is very rewardin...
