"Heavenly" the bear cub that recuperated at Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care after being found injured on the slopes of Heavenly has found a permanent home. He will be living on a 5 acre wildlife sanctuary in Scottsdale, Arizona with a couple of other cubs.
According to LTWC co-founder and Secretary/Treasurer Tom Milham, Heavenly left South Lake Tahoe early Tuesday to his new home, Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center. The bear had been with LTWC since March 3.
The BEAR League had put out a plea for help with the American Sanctuary Association and the Arizona group responded. They also said that National Geographic is working on a story about the bear, his rescue, and his future home.
