My Nonprofit Reviews

Through Facebook, I started learning about the true nature of black bears in January 2010; that they are timid, gentle creatures, not the maneating, frightening monsters portrayed in movies & other media. Then I was disappointed to find out we had an almost zero wild black bear population in Texas. Was ecstatic to learn that IEAS provides forever homes for bears in their sanctuary less than one hour from Dallas. I have had the pleasure of following the progress of three rescued, orphaned bear cubs at IEAS on their website & FB. An unexpected bonus: the big cats are also provided forever homes here and these cats are magnificent. Every animal there has a name & a story you won't want to miss. My initial visit there was so MUCH more than I expected. Reservations are required for tours; size is limited so visitors can be educated, ask questions, take photos, etc. The loving care, the enrichment programs, the nutritional planning, the environments provided, the staff - everything about the IEAS is first class. Go see for yourself.....you'll fall in love, guaranteed!!
