Unfortunately too many animals end up in shelters, however it is a safe haven for them. Kudos to you for taking treats to feed all those animals - you set a good example for Agatha.

I know the feeling of keeping the children happy.Lovely to see them with the animals.

Thank you for showing us this beautiful place! I can imagine there's not a lot of support for places like this, but they do important work.

To help you out (honestly!) pronounced "pears" and "bears" like you say "air". Pairs, Bayrs... What a lovey outing! Thank you for sharing! (hi from Canada)

Awww.... love the animals! On our cattle ranch we have about 1200 or more head of cows/calves/bulls combined, but.... unlike on our neighbor's ranches, we have lots and lots of tame cows who come up to you begging for treats. They will lick you and slobber all over you waiting for a protein cube that we use to suppliment their hay in the winter time. Our Airbnb guest can go with us to a pasture if they want to... and hand feed cows, which is a real treat to them, as most grow up in cities and haven't experienced large animals up close. You and your family are welcome here anytime! We had guests last year from Belgium and France. Just look up Nebraska sandhills Airbnb spots and you will find us! A farmer who keeps the cows on his corn stalks from November until the end of February, commented to my husband that he doesn't understand how 80% of our herd are tame! (This is a big exaggeration of course, but we do have a hundred or more who are!) The babies won't come up to you unless they are bottle fed, but as soon as they are weaned away from their tame mamas', those calves born to the tame cows will begin to come up and beg for treats! Mama teaches baby! So it is generational.

The scenery on the drive to the bear sanctuary was very beautiful!

What a wonderful place, especially in winter time! The bears are beautiful. Thank you for going there and feeding all of these animals, it's such an amazing experience for everyone. Greetings from Serbia!

Well done, Vika, Tolya, Agatha and Adelina! Great idea for a meaningful family outing, what we call a "teachable moment" for your daughters and followers alike. You did the shelter and their animals a great service, btw bringing global awareness to their important work and current situation and the fact that the community contributes in funding and construction, as well as how quickly resources like food are consumed and therefore require ongoing support. And you brought a generous amount of food to share with the animals. I hope you continue to visit there and/or others like them, to support this positive activity as an ongoing thing. Blessed be. 💙💛💖💜❤

Thanks for the interesting visit to the animal rescue center. It was generous of your family to contribute the “ treats” to the various animals. And also, thanks for providing the link to the map ( showing the location of the rescue center. Be careful feeding animals through the fence!! They all have sharp teeth and claws … and can move very quickly.

This was just awesome! I love that Georgia tries to save them! Unfortunately people are getting more and more into bear territory and they have some problems. I am always happy to see them cared for and kept humanely!❤

Thank you for caring for those that can't care for themselves

For those who would immediately say how thats horrible living in a cage, don't you know bears are closer and closer to human civilization? They are starving so they eat in trash. They are so close to village that they are more likely to be shot because they are hungry and feed themselves more easily by going to trash bins. So unfortunately living in cages is more safe in a way, even if they are not happy, maybe it is better than being alone after their mothers died shot. In one country i don't remember wich one, a bear came to a bakery and ate all the sugar cakes! Nobody was hurt, she was very hungry and craving sugar obviously 😂 Thank you Vikan for these wonderful snow landscapes, i can feel the snow, where i live there is no snow anymore.

Gosh, thanks for bringing us to this amazing shelter. The animals all look so healthy and beautiful. Big thanks to anyone involved in that project.

I was thinking, don't they hibernate in the winter? But then realized you were going to a place where they kept them safe and other animals too. God bless you for feeding all those animals. Thanks for sharing this video.💕🥰Much love from Iowa, USA.💕💗
