Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
Burrito’s father, Mack, passed away on Sunday at the estimated age of 46.
After spending decades in research, Mack was rescued by Save the Chimps and brought to live on a sunny island home in Florida. He died peacefully during an afternoon nap. Please take a minute to read about his life.
Our hearts go out to his human and chimpanzee families.
Rest in peace, Mack.
Volunteers Amanda and Tennyson helped us build a new enrichment device for the chimps. The woven fire hose has pockets to stick browse in (browse includes leaves, branches and twigs – an important part of a chimp’s diet). Many thanks to Chimps Inc. and the Honolulu Zoo for the idea! Annie, Missy and Jody spent hours picking out the cattails, bamboo and fennel.
While we were installing the browse feeder, we also hung a few more fire hose swings near the new windows. As you can see, they created the perfect game for Missy.
Today is a Sponsor-a-Day for Angel. Angel is Debbie K.’s 14 year old golden retriever and the 24th of August was the day Debbie adopted her from the Humane Society when she was 9 years old.
Happy rescue day, Angel!
Thank you Debbie for honoring Angel by sponsoring today in her honor.
Debbie says when she looks at Angel, she thinks of Negra.
