Elephants who have spent their lives in captivity need frequent foot care to stay healthy and enjoy exploring. Sanctuary elephants’ large, shock-absorbing foot pads are checked for debris and scrubbed often by Care Staff, making pachyderm pedicures not a splurge, but a vital element of elephant health care at The Sanctuary!
About The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee:
Located 85 miles southwest of Nashville in Hohenwald, Tenn., The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee provides elephants retired from performance and exhibition with individualized care, the companionship of a herd, and the opportunity to live out their lives in a safe haven dedicated to their well-being. The Sanctuary also works to raise public awareness of the complex needs of elephants in captivity, and the crisis facing elephants in the wild. The Elephant Discovery Center, The Sanctuary’s educational center with exhibits focused on elephants’ role as a keystone species, is open to visitors in downtown Hohenwald. The elephants’ habitats are closed to the public.
