This enclosure was the largest area these lions had ever been in. Their full outdoor enclosure is expansive, and filled with trees and all the sights and sounds of nature – and the open sky.
ADI will continue to fund the care for these animals for the rest of their lives. Please adopt these rescued lions today: click here to find out how, or order an adoption pack by emailing ADI’s office in Los Angeles at usa@ad-international.org
Our 25 ex-circus lions have finally come to a new home, and Bolivia has been emptied of its circus animals once and for all.
The latest from the ADI Rescue Team in Bolivia, as we construct the lions’ travel crates, and prepare the lions for travel.
These two sisters were abandoned by the circus with no food or water. Once the circus knew we were coming, they just made off.
We believe that Colo, Muneca and Lulu have almost certainly been beaten by their previous owner. We hope that, in time, they will learn that not all humans are a threat to them.
The circus who owned Pancho and Temuco tried to slip through the net and stop these lions having the future they deserve. But we caught up with them and brought these lions to safety.

Thanks ADI and Pat and Ed! It might be time for a return visit to ARK 2000 and PAWS! I so enjoyed the elephant weekend experience several years ago and PAWS has done so much since then in addition to the amazing things they (Pat and Ed) had already done!
Tears came as I watched this, God Bless all of you for what you did for these Lions.. seeing them play was such reward for all your work, love and care….
We must never give up hope for these beautiful creatures. they deserve life, a full natural life.
so nice to see a happy ending, after seeing so many animal videos where the animals are in great distress and mistreated it must be so satisfying to see the end result, makes it all worthwhile! Great job! It’s so nice to see that there are good people in this world that want to see these anmials in a better place and can help achieve this!
After long time being captured, All these 4 lions released. I wonder to know this playing ground is largest area these lions had ever been in. If you come to India , I can participate in your great job for some days.
