Meet the African Lions

$125 Annual Adoption*	Denny Denny was purchased by a private individual from a pet store when he was a cub. He was brutally declawed, causing permanent damage to all four paws, and defanged. Fortunately for Denny, he was confiscated by the Detroit Police Department's Harbormaster Division on Belle Isle, when they discovered his owner jogging with him in the park. Denny arrived at the Detroit Zoological Park on September 14, 1997. Denny, and another lion - victims of the horrendous trade in exotic animals - were sent to PAWS in December 1997. Denny and Pfeiffer will spend the remainder of their lives in the peaceful surroundings at the PAWS sanctuary.

$125 Annual Adoption* PLEASE NOTE: Adoptions are in name only. The animal does not actually go home with you. Donations made via animal adoption are used for the care, feeding and maintenance of the animals.	Sheba Sheba was born at a breeding facility where she and her brother were sold as pets to a man who kept them in his house in Detroit. When the male lion became too difficult for his owner to handle, he was euthanized. Sheba also became more difficult to handle & her owner surrendered her to the Michigan Humane Society when she was only one year old. Sheba now has a large grassy run with trees & lots of toys.
