We are still in reminiscing mode as we look back just five years, to June, 2020. One of the orphaned cubs who came to ABR that month and year was Sassafras Bear.

Sassafras was just 5 months old. She was from Erwin, TN.

She was a cute little cub.

And she “fit right in” at ABR.

With some of her friends – here are Tweetsie, Dumplin, Marmalade, Ferdinand, Sassafras, and Harlan.

Just before her release, here is the (almost) yearling, Sassafras Bear!
