Peaceable Primate Sanctuary is a non-profit sanctuary for primates retired from medical research.

Peaceable Primate Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that provides a retirement sanctuary for primates that have been used in research or kept as pets. We are home to 43 baboons and macaques, we provide this sanctuary home once studies are completed and the monkeys are no longer needed. We receive no state or federal funding and rely on people generous support to fulfill our mission.

Today is World Lemur Day. World Lemur Day raises awareness about the need to protect this unique primate. All lemurs are under extreme pressure from habitat destruction,hunting and poaching and climate change. Lemurs are the most endangered mammal with 95 to 98% of species threatened with extinction. The sanctuary is home to 9 ringed-tailed lemurs that were rescued from a private individual that was breeding them to be sold as pets.

You may remember us asking for new beds for the marmosets, well today we are announcing “32 lives, one big mission”. We have accepted 32 marmosets from a research facility and we need everyone’s help. The sending facility is not able to fund their retirement but we believe with our supporters and corporate donations that we can. This retirement is the largest marmoset retirement in history!!! To jumpstart the campaign we are launching the official T-shirt “Retire the 32” 100% of the proceeds goes to funding the 32. You can order by emailing [email protected] or call 574 896 0590. The cost is $30 per shirt and shipping available for $5. Please share far and wide and let’s welcome the little ones to Indiana. Stay tuned for other ways to support, hint hint (naming opportunities).

Our marmoset retirees (Mabel,Mikey.Jax and Sysco) really love their sleeping tent. But they are pretty tough on them and would love if they could get some new ones. Can our sanctuary friends help them out? How can you say no to these cute faces.
