About Us Our Bears Get Involved
 

Welcome...

Appalachian Bear Rescue (ABR) is a one-of-a-kind black bear rehabilitation facility. Located just outside of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, ABR is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization that has been returning black bears back to the wild since 1996.

Each year, black bears from our national parks and surrounding areas are orphaned, injured or in need of medical care. Thanks to Appalachian Bear Rescue, these bears are given a second chance.

If you want to help support ABR, please go to our donations page and contribute to our work.
