Another great and productive day at the sanctuary as we assist primates as they move “From Research to Retirement”. Today we provided 2 baboons with physicals, dentals and ultrasounds. In addition, walkways were poured for the new Marion V. Schmidt Welcome Center and we are making
major progress on the outside caging for the new macaque building. Whew!!!! Are you interested in helping our mission? Click below to donate.

We’ve said it before and will say it again. Working closely with our retirement partners and friends benefits all. First, we received foraging challenger balls that break up our retirees day and give them the opportunity to forage for some tasty snacks. Second, we need a way to store all of this fun enrichment, what better way then with new storage bins. We can’t thank our friends enough. HUZZAH!!!

Hello friends,
The monkeys are thrilled with their new barrels but they have another ask (they promised, this is it) they would love some CD players. Listening to some music makes your barrel swinging time even more enjoyable. We will also accept used players. Help our retirees rock 🎸 out.

Enjoy your favorite tunes from your CD collection and the airwaves when you bring home the Lonpoo CD Player with Digital FM Radio. This multifunctional unit is the perfect addition to your bedside table and boasts a sleek black finish that is sure to complement your existing decor. Just load it ...

All we can say is WOW!! You guys did it and we can’t thank you enough. The “barrels of fun” fundraiser was a huge success, 61 barrels were purchased. The retirees get so much joy from these and they have you to thank. Our heart is full.

Who needs barrels of monkeys you ask, we do!! Actually we need barrels for monkeys, and you can help. Our retirees love to sit in ( and on) swing and throw them until their hearts content. We can find them locally for $5 ( price of a coffee) how many do you think we can get? Won’t you help us and the retirees have barrels of fun!!!

Thank you to everyone that reached out after last nights severe weather. The sanctuary was surrounded but luckily came through with no damage, there was a tornado 🌪️ on the ground that barely missed us. All of the retirees were safe and secure in their indoor areas and didn’t seem to notice what was going on. Thank you to our amazing staff for making sure everyone was safe and sound. Enjoy the light show.
