They plan to reintroduce her into the wild once she is ready next year. The rescuer, who seems to have a personal connection with Tahoe, even knew the color of her blanket when dropping her off at the center.

Despite being advised by authorities to leave the cub undisturbed, the rescuer followed his conscience, refusing to abandon Tahoe to her fate.
