If these rescued adorable bears could talk, surely they would have the most heart-rending story to tell. Luckily, these adorable bears’ story has a happy ending.

Bears are enormous wild creatures and they require a lot of space to roam. For that reason, there’s only one site these adorable animals have to spend time and that’s in the wild. Unfortunately, Fifi, Bruno, Marsha, and Pocahontas never had this chance since they were little cubs. They were brought away from their moms when they are little cubs and Their native way of life was broken and the poor animals arrived at a roadside zoo in Pennsylvania, USA.

Once these adorable bears got there, Marsha, Bruno, Fifi, and Pocahontas had been forced to perform stunts in order to entertain the zoo audience. Heartless administrators in the zoo wanted was to make massive benefit from them, but they never fed them properly or better take care of them.

After nearly two decades in captivity, the Pennsylvania roadside zoo was shut down and the poor bears were hoping again for a free life. Sadly, their dreams had narrowed quickly, after they finished in some rusty and tiny cages on the side of the road. The poor bears had no pleasant place to sleep, but concrete, nor a shade to shield them from the sunshine. Pointless to mention they hadn’t wintry for a very long time.

After so many years of suffering, Bruno, Fifi, Marsha, and Pocahontas finally got a chance for life freedom. In July 2015 The Wild Animal Sanctuary and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have succeeded (after far efforts) to rescue them. The moment these ignored cute bears were rescued, they just couldn’t imagine their eyes and their response was wonderful to behold. Never knew these bears could smile. Take a look:

Since these adorable bears have spent all their lives in captivity it would have been unbearable for them to get back in the wild. So, the rescue team took the bears to an animal sanctuary in Colorado. At this sanctuary, they eventually got the chance to live a peace-loving life. Even they were nothing but bones and skin when found, the adorable bears and particularly Fifi whose condition was the worst, achieved an unbelievable recovery almost a year after their life-changing rescue!
