Hi there! You have arrived at Sal Rodd's Adopt a Moon Bear donations page! In 2010, people like you helped me to raise $14,500 to rescue JIGSAW from a very cruel and barbaric life on a bear-bile farm in Vietnam. Bile is extracted from the bears in an horrific and painful manner, leaving many of the bears physically damaged and in pain for the rest of their lives. Jigsaw now lives happily in the care of Animals Asia at their bear sanctuary north of Hanoi. Jigsaw was the 39th bear rescued in Vietnam. Now, in 2020, there are almost 200 rescued bears living with him in Vietnam. Adopt a Moon Bear has a commitment to support JIGSAW via his Bear Care Club for the rest of his life – possibly another 15 years. In real terms it costs $12,000 to “keep” a bear for one year. Your donations cover his everyday needs: his food, veterinarian care, his physical enrichment program (toys, climbing structures, pool!) and of course his part of ongoing sanctuary costs such as employing all the locals to care, feed and grow food for the bears, the vet team and repairs and maintenance to Jigsaw’s living environment. We have raised over $133,000 in 12 years and in 2019 Jigsaw celebrated 10 years of living a happy "rescued" life. If you don't yet know about JIGSAW, please visit our website and read his story: http://www.adoptamoonbear.com And please join our mailing list to receive Jigsaw’s own newsletters which he "writes" and sends about every 2 months. For donation options please read below. Donating by CREDIT CARD is simplest: click the "Donate Now" button (above). Your donation will be paid directly to Animals Asia, Adoptamoonbear is notified immediately and MyCause will issue you with a tax-deductible receipt at the time of donating. Thank you! JIGSAW looks forward to welcoming you into his FAMILY of supporters!

Dear happy supporters of Jigsaw!! Great News!! For the first time in many years Jill Robinson is coming to Australia in late October to both Sydney and Melbourne. I am posting this message to you via MyCause because I don’t yet have a new newsletter provider (since Mad Mimi stopped last month). I can’t encourage you enough to come along to meet Jill and hear her share the story and work of Animals Asia and of course the latest on Jigsaw and his bear buddies. Below is the link to Eventbrite. The evening is only $15 and https://www.eventbrite.com/e/an-evening-with-jill-robinson-from-animals-asia-registration-1002245040897?aff=oddtdtcreator

Hi everyone! A BIG BIG furry thank you from me to everyone who of helped me finish my 2023 puzzle photo, just in time for New Year's Eve. Your donations have raised $11,300 for me this year. I can't thank you enough for the kindness and care you show me and my bear buddies. Now we can all enjoy a big rest and I will catch up with you all in March/April. By then, I hope we have lots more bears rescued and settled in to our new sanctuary at Bach Ma N.P. And of course a new puzzle with yet another stunningly handsome photo of ME! Love, YOUR bear, Jigsaw (heh heh and Sal, of course !! ) xxxxx

Hi everyone! My puzzle is really starting to hum along this year and my handsomeness is starting to shine through ! Your support means I can be a Zero Cost Bear for Animals Asia - and that means it can rescue more bears from their awful lives on bear bile farms! Good news too! I'm a Tax Deductible bear too! Love Jigsaw!

I am really sorry that dear Jigsaw has passed Sal. But how wonderful that you spent time with him before he wandered to greener pastures. You were his special human mate who gave him the best chance to enjoy his life. Such a heartwarming and loving devotion. Fingers crossed “his” jigsaw soon is completed!!
