The Elephant Sanctuary (TES)in Hohenwald Tennessee was where Shirley and Jenny
met after 20 years. They were inseparable for several years after this film was
made. They both had leg injuries and slowly but surely made their way around
the enormous sanctuary. They shared a stall and were entwined like you saw in
the video. Sadly Jenny passed away recently and Shirley grieved and often
visited the grave of Jenny. But after a few months, Tarra kept coming to
Shirley and as if she realized that maybe Tarra needed a mother figure, Shirley
took here under her wing. You see, Tarra, the first member of the sanctuary is
a loner, but now she can be found with Shirley walking miles to the lake and all
around. TES is a wonderful place. The website is elephant.com.
I'm sorry this is so long, but you can tell I have been following TES since
1999. Another wonderful story is Tarra and her dog Bella. It was on CBS, I
think. It also has a video at You Tube here:
