There is an elephant sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee. It was established on 2700 acres in 1995. In that time they have cared for 24 elephants. It costs $133,000 to provide a year of sanctuary for one elephant. Elephants are sensitive animals and those in captivity usually suffer from PTSD.
www.elephants.com has lots of information about the sanctuary as well as bios on their residents. There is a video here of the sanctuary residents and links to "elecams"
Tarra's bio explains why she has artist in residence status at the sanctuary.
