Max’s Story

After 14 years in a tiny cage at a bus depot, Max was so big it took ten men to carry him to freedom.

Max was rescued after spending 14 years in a tiny cage at a bus depot with his companion Minnie. The two bears had languished in their filthy, barren prison for their entire lives. Max was far too large for our usual bear rescue crates and so he was transported in a horse trailer. He was undoubtedly the biggest bear we have ever seen. It took a team of ten men to carry Max into his trailer where three vets were waiting to monitor him on his 45-minute journey to the rescue centre. 

Max is now living out his days in comfort along with his companion Minnie. Sadly, Max can’t be released, but he’s a happy bear who enjoys nothing more than splashing around in the pool with Minnie and taking a nap in the sun.

Max will be with us for life – help him live the life he deserves and adopt him today!

Max at Rescue

Max spent 14 years confined to a tiny, filthy cage at a bus depot, kept alongside his companion Minnie with barely room to turn around. He was malnourished, underweight, and suffering joint pain from years of standing on hard concrete.
