“We are over here doing foot trimming with Nicole and Miss Guille**.”
“You can see how relaxed her foot is.”
“And yet another elephant who falls asleep during manicures.”

As part of their holistic approach to healing caregivers at Global Sanctuary For Elephants/Elephant Sanctuary Brazil provide their charges with regular sessions of foot care – a mani pedi for elephants, if you like.
For having healthy feet gives each elephant a good chance to live a long and happy life. That is all one can ask for, really. #SanctuaryHeals
**Guillermina was rescued in May 2022 along with her mother Pocha. (2) Sadly, Pocha passed away in October of that same year.
Help keep Guille happy while she receives her foot care – it calms her so that she almost falls asleep, at least in this video. (Scott Blais says that Guille has ‘really big feet,’ don’t tell her that, though, since girls like Guille would prefer having dainty feet!) (1).
Global Sanctuary For Elephants offers a way to gift the elephants a FOOT RESTORE BASKET!
Your DONATION provides
- Hoof Knife
- Square Blade
- Post Trimming Spray
- Watermelons (a yummy treat)
Note: If you would like to specify Guille as the elephant to receive your gift of a ‘foot restore basket’ you may do so ‘at checkout’. (5) copy & paste link in Sources below
