Appalachian Bear Rescue

                                                              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 in Townsend, TN, 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 rehabilitated and released back to the wild.
