Rest in peace, Miss Anna Macaque. Anna developed pneumonia very suddenly and passed away quietly a couple of days ago. We miss her terribly. She had been eating and drinking normally, and no one saw her sneezing or coughing, no runny nose. Her bedding in her house was dry.

Your Pets' Ten Commandments
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends,
your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so. ALWAYS!

New video on our YouTube channel - Lola and Diablo make faces and moo. Really!
Lola and Diablo on YouTube
Sad news to start the new year off - we lost our local celebrity tiger-boy Zarak last night. He was 21 years old, came to Bear Creek when he was 6, and lived a wonderful comfortable life here. We are all very grateful that he wasn't sick and didn't suffer. He ran to get his turkey yesterday and then apparently died in his sleep. There is recent video of Zarak on our YouTube channel. (I thought he was 18, Mary says he was closer to 21.) He was a good sweet boy and we already miss him tons. Rest in peace and run in the grass with Korrianna now.
Happy New Year everyone!
Our goals for 2011 are construction, construction and construction! And we need a new truck too. So expect some new very focused fundraising from Bear Creek!
Winter has come to Bear Creek. It is very beautiful but so much heavy snow makes a lot of work for us. The animals' houses all have to be shoveled off and the enclosures that have roofs also have to be shoveled off so the enclosures don't collapse. We have (I think) 40 enclosures. All of our paths have to be cleared and all of the enclosure doors have to be cleared as well.

We depend on you, our sponsors and donors, our Facebook fans, our YouTube subscribers and our Twitter followers, to help us take care of our beloved animal friends.We wouldn't be able to do what we do without you!

New video posted! Watch timber wolf Cheveyo (in the photo below) bob for pumpkins in his pond. Check out
Cheveyo on our YouTube channel. Video by Alanna Davis.
December 6, 2010
This photo is for all the people who have said to me "I have a Rottweiler, I could handle a wolf."
No, you really couldn't. This is Cheveyo, one of our puppies, guarding his pumpkin.
Owning a wolf or a wolf-dog in Ontario is illegal without a permit. There are good reasons for that.

New lemur arrivals, Cotton and Kringle, black and white ruffed lemurs. They have the most beautiful coats!
Kringle, the male of the pair, is in the front. Cotton is behind. He's "guarding" her.
New arrivals! Meet Mali, our new fennec fox, and Shyla, her pet cat. (Yes, the fox has a pet cat.) Mali is full grown, Shyla is bigger than Mali! More photos as soon as I get them.

We have sad news today, our beautiful miracle serval, Kenya, passed away. This was unexpected and sudden and we are all very sad. Kenya had survived a life threatening injury and had spent May 2009 to June 2010 in an interior enclosure being nursed by Mary and our volunteers.
Our veterinarian, Dr Kathy Emms, has determined that this sudden illness is not connected to his injury.
Rest in peace, Kenya.

October 18, 2010
One of our big-boy tigers, Zarak, had some minor surgery today. He's waking up now and we expect him to recover well. He is one of our elderly tigers, he is 18 years old.
Check out our new "Corporate Retreats" page. This is a new program that we are still in the process of designing with the help of donors Rob, Jon and Matt. And Matt. There is a virtual tour slide show on the page, so if you're interested in what our tours look like, go check it out!

Miss Anna Macaque!
September 7, 2010
Miss Anna Macaqute has been moved to her brand new permanent enclosure! She loves it and as soon as I have pictures and video I'll post them. Mary said she loves it, she climbed on all of her new stuff and played with all of her new "toys".
August 31, 2010
New video uploaded! Go see Jahzara and Tsunami, our jaglions!
August 28, 2010
Our recent medical issue with Miss Anna Macaque was one that we've never seen before. During her observation period (all of our new animals are observed before they go into their permanent enclosures) we noticed that she was picking at something in her leg. Upon further inspection it turned out to be a needle tip from
when she was captured. We took her to Dr. Joel Rumney at North Simcoe Veterinary Services in Midland and were all shocked to find this.
The entire dart from her capture had been inside her for a week. (No, we weren't the people who darted her.) We are very lucky she's alive. We are so grateful to Dr. Rumney at North Simcoe Vet Services, this could easily have killed her from infection. Anna is doing well, she's a bit quiet from her recent experiences and we're just very glad to have her.
August 21, 2010
Presenting Miss Anna Macaque! We had a bit of a medical issue with her,
but she's doing very well now.
Anna is a Japanese Macaque, also known as snow monkeys. We'll be buidling a hot tub of some sort into her enclosure.
August 14, 2010
Mary is on her way to pick up a Japanese macaque named Anna. We will be building an enclosure for her starting tomorrow, and could really use some financial help! This is an urgent situation,the enclosre needs to be chimpanzee-strong. Mary will be going back within a week or so to pick up Anna's mate Chico. We would very much like to have the enclosure done by then. So if anyone can help please let me (Dana) or Mary know. Thx!
August 12, 2010
We have some sad news, our beautiful baby girl red fox, Jinx, passed away yesterday. She was the sweetest, easiest animal to work with and we already miss her terribly.
August 10, 2010
Many of you who have come to tour in the last 16 months have been invited downstairs to meet Kenya, our male serval who had been injured and has been recovering. Great news! Kenya is completely recovered and has gone back outside to his enclosure. He is truly a miracle cat and would not have survived without constant nursing by Mary. Photos and the full story soon.
Last spring I captured an audio recording of our wolves howling and posted it to TweetMic. The yip-yip-yip sound is Alma, our coyote. Check it out! Wolves & Coyote Howling Some of our other audio recordings are available there too. Lions Roaring and Wolves Howling is my favourite!

Two of our turkey storage freezers gave up on us last week. (Full of turkeys-we lost those too.) We need two more, but we need them to be new. Used freezers don't move well, when we've taken them out of people's basements in the past they don't last long and then we have to pay to dispose of them. So if you can help us with a donation to our freezer fund that would be great! Use the button below and then send us an email that you want your money to go to our new freezers. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

We at Bear Creek Sanctuary wish to thank David Palmer of “Big Block Inspections” who is the premier “Home Inspection” and “Commercial Building Audit” company of the Barrie and surrounding area, for all his expertise and assistance during our time of making substantial repairs to our facility.
