The Elephant Sanctuary | Artie's Travels to Tennessee

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Artie, The Sanctuary's first permanent bull resident, has now called The Sanctuary home for over three weeks. Artie has spent much of his time exploring his new habitat, enjoying enrichment provided by Care Staff, and even downing small pine trees! Many months of planning and preparation for Artie’s arrival, including his safe transport, was no small feat. The Sanctuary had the pleasure of working closely with the care staff at North Carolina Zoo to ensure a safe journey for Artie and a smooth transition into his new home.

Welcome home big boy! Your happily ever after has just begun Artie 💙💙
Looks like he adjusted well from the get-go! So happy you found a wonderful forever home, Artie! You'll love it in Tennessee!
Welcome to Tennessee Artie! If only people on the highway knew there was an elephant traveling with them.
What a chill dude. Took a whiff of the air, probably could smell the females and he walked in had dinner and a nice dust bath.
You’re in good hand now Artie. Now you can live like a real elephant 🐘🐘❤️❤️
I'm sure the North Carolina Zoo did not mistreat Artie or any of their other elephants. They have a big outdoor area for them.
@careyostrer6193 Thank you for all this information - much appreciated.
I wish i had the funds to personally pay for all Artiss needs and wants anx then some. He has my heart
I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we're ALL glad that Arties now with you guys.
So happy to see that Artie made a smooth trip and transition so far. You all are so wonderful to all the elephants. Thank you.
After a long day, these videos always make me feel good. Artie has a good home.
Welcome home, Artie! ❤ I'm SO happy for you!!! By now you already know how wonderful your life will be from now on. 😊 You will always have love and care and be treated with dignity and respect. And you'll get to enjoy life in peace and happiness. ❤🐘❤ ... Thank you TES for the wonderful care you give the elephants. And thank you to everyone who made this possible and who helped Artie move home. You all are the best! 💛🐘💛🐘💛🐘💛
Welcome Home Artie! 🎉❤
I hope the elephants can stomach the bamboo, these are tough veggies to digest. So happy that the zoo let Artie go to such a wonderful sanctuary! Artie, with you best of life ahead!
They also strip bark from trees and eat it. So I guess they don't mind some roughage.
Thank you for all you do. I have watched 2 elephants in 1980 in the Sanctuary first time. It changed my life forever since.
Really impressed how that big guy confidently walked backwards into his new surroundings like it was no big deal, he knew he was in good hands :)
Welcome Artie ❤. You will love your new home! So happy for you!
This is the best charity that anyone can donate to in my opinion. Thank you for saving the elephants.
I LOVE THIS!!!! Beautiful love, care and compassion for Artie along is travels to the best home in the world, The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee!!!! God bless adorable Artie with a long healthy and happy life!!!!🥰🥰♥♥
What’s Good Artie! Wishes for good health and a happy life!
Bravo! What a handsome fellow, welcome to Tennessee Artie! Hope we get many follow up videos of Arties transistion and history. 🐘🐘
Artie seems happy and eager to settle in
So grateful places like this exist. We can't re-wild them but we can make sure there are no more "tricks" or billhooks. ❤️🏴
I forward videos so folks know there is an elephant sanctuary in Tennessee--many small donations add up, great as gifts for birthdays, holidays, and even as sympathy, condolence cards, the gift of life, plus the recipients can watch online.
What a lucky boy! He will have the best life possible here. So, so happy for him!
That's a hell of a drive over the mountains, too. You guys made pretty good time considering how slow that truck must have been moving going uphill!
An elephant is a lite load for a decent truck.
Wow! Very interesting! It’s amazing, you don’t realize how large they are until you see the overhead shot with the two keepers. I’d like to thank the zoo in North Carolina for letting (I think) him go to the sanctuary. Zoos are too small for these incredible animals - they need room and lots of friends! Thank you for the rescue and the share! Well done you!
♥️🐘♥️
Good morning thank you for a rescue it takes a lot of be prep but this precious baby will be free God bless all involved
Way to go, Artie and Sanctuary. Live a long and happy life, big guy!
Sending a huge shout out with many thanks to this amazing transport team you all are incredible people with hearts of gold! I so wish I could do what you do just once oh what a joyful happy feeling that would be! Keep up the fantastic work we will be watching and waiting for the next gentle giants to get their forever freedom home!
Welcome Artie!!

Glad to see him in a great new home. Also excited for the old female Asian that will be arriving in the next couple of weeks from the San Antonio Zoo.

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW FOREVER HOME 🏡 ARTIE!!!🥰😍😘🦣🦣🦣🦣🌳⛰️🌊 WHAT A VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT PLAN AND RESCUE 👏🏾 BUT HIS WELCOME HOME 🏡 PARTY WAS THE BEST PART BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAD A PILE OF DIRT ⛰️ IN HIS TEMPORARY QUARTERS!!! AND PLENTY OF EVERY GOOD FOOD 🥭 🌳 AND THAT MADE ARTIE FEEL VERY RELAXED AND NO PRESSURE AT ALL!!! HE CONFIRMED IT BY IMMEDIATELY EATING AND DUSTING HIMSELF WITH THE DIRT!!!😂 I LOVED❤ WATCHING THE WHOLE VIDEO!!! BEAUTIFUL AND SMOOTH SAILINGS!!!💜💜💜😃👍🏾🙋🏾♀️🔥🙏🏽👑➕📖🔥
Dear Artie, I hope your retirement is wonderful. Enjoy the snow, Kathy.
Such a precious delivery !! Thanks to all involved including that truck driver. Most valuable load he’s every delivered ❤️❤️🐘🐘
Freedom from a boring unfulfilled life at last, enjoy your new home Artie.
Welcome home Artie!! You are beautiful 😍❤️
Welcome Artie! Hope the concrete floor isn’t permanent, and you have a softer floor soon. I was led to believe concrete was a no no for elephants everywhere.
I think the floors are padded. It looks different compared to where the care staff are standing. And I see he was dusting himself so looks like plenty of sand in his space.🥰
Concrete *is a no-no for elephants everywhere. Here's hoping Debbie is right about the elephants' substrate being soft, as it should be.
Hello, Artie! I have seen you in some episodes of the TV show filmed at your old home! I hope you'll be very happy in Tn.
More on Martiie please!
Thank you for saving Artie please show more on Billie
Love you all
Beautiful
The Elephant Sanctuary is a wonderful place for elephants for sure, but I hope people don't think he was mistreated at the North Carolina Zoo. We've been there and their elephants have a big outdoor area. So glad Nancy Kaufman from the North Carolina Zoo was there during Artie's transition along with many others. I'd love to know why he was moved though. Just curious. The video was wonderful to see. Such a great team effort.
Agreed, the outdoor area just isn’t large enough though. Elephants need more
Happy Tears!!
❤❤🌈🌈🐘
He needs another elephant. Don't leave him on his own.
So wonderful! Thank you all....just please stop with music on the video
💜💜💜
Love the new elephant. When are other ones coming from Knoxville Zoo?
❤️
Magnificent creature! What happened to his tusks?😢
❤💕
'All of us at The Sanctuary are so happy to have you here.' Now that's funny. The Sanctuary is Fort Knox for elephants and you can no more get in there than The Sanctuary.
Will he have to be permanently kept away from the other females or are there plans to allow them to be together?
Can anyone tell me why this beautiful boy has no tusks?
💐🤝🌞🇨🇭

I thought the Elephant Sanctuary only took in females. I know there was a male named Ned there for a while but he was in bad shape and didn't live long after arrival. Is this a change?
I don't think it was strictly a policy (to just allow only females). Maybe the opportunity just never came along. There aren't a lot of captive Bulls (Asians nor Africans ) around.
A farm in Africa grows banna grass as a crop to feed their elephants at a sanctuary. Maybe it will grow there too
Hay algo que no entiendo. Por que no lo filman ingresando a un lugar al aire libre.
Artie is fabulous! And he couldn’t be in a happier home setting. His transfer process was well planned and executed. The video was great to watch, but not as enjoyable to listen to. After a while I had to mute the sound. That constantly repeating series of notes started out pleasant but soon became irritating.

I hope he is not going to be on his own. Elephants are group animals and he will need other elephants to be put happy.

Stop that horrible music...
Glad to see you finally home Artie!
