Saber was given to Noah’s because his owner was no longer capable of caring for him. He was a very talkative fellow and would get those paws of his between the fence and grab whatever he could. You just couldn’t get to close.. he was a bit of a prankster and loved to mess with people. He lived to the ripe old age of 17 and passed on in 2005.
I truly hope that another message comes through.. that these animals DO NOT MAKE GOOD PETS.. that’s why places like Noah’s are in existence. If people would just think before they buy that cute LITTLE cub.. life would be easier on all of us especially the animals. After all.. they didn’t ask to be in the situation they are.. and there are far to many unscrupulous people out there that are in it for the money..
At least with education, we might make a little difference.. even if we save just one animal.. it’s a beginning!!
All proceeds from any sales will be donated to Noah’s Lost Ark Sanctuary for the care and feeding of the animals.

    well if anything at least the owner cared for him enough to hsve the good sense not to toss him out. It so tempting to have one for a pet, but they are just too much a part of nature for that, son dang cute when they are babies too!

    Saber reminds us where wild creatures belong to. The illegal pet trade profits from young creatures snatched in the wild, many times unweaned and the mother killed. If bred in captivity to satisfy this cruel market, wild creatures are deprived from their freedom and are used as instruments till they become “useless”. Say No to the illegal pet trade, keep wild creatures in the wild.

    Thank you, Barb, for adding beautiful Saber along your important message and personal pledge to Art for Conservation.
