Sanctuary being sought for ‘Heavenly’ the bear

The bear that was caught at Heavenly Mountain Resort earlier this year is back at Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care.

The bear had been released into the wild, but was too acclimated to people.

He was caught in Nevada and returned to LTWC where he will be “taken care of until we can find a good permanent-care sanctuary who will give him a forever home,” according to the Bear League.

The goal now is to find a sanctuary for the bear dubbed Heavenly.
