It’s really amazing to look through some old photos of when the chimps first arrived at the sanctuary. Their skin was so faded, they had so little hair, and they just seemed expressionless. Even after just a few months, we started to see some drastic changes. This post shows before and after pictures of Annie—with only about 3 months between. Well, I took a photo of Annie today sitting in the same exact spot as our “before” picture. It’s pretty striking how amazing she looks after 3 years in sanctuary.

All I can say is WOW!!! What a difference. Thanks everyone.
you are right, she does look so amazing… you guys have really taken great care of her 🙂
It is amazing and wonderful to know her life is improved so much.
What a beautiful transformation. I noticed this about all the chimps in your books–loving care, good food and an interesting environment make all the difference. Well done to you all!
look at that sparkle in her eyes.
What a great change overall……………..You all have done such an amazing act of kindness & love, for the betterment of these chimps. God bless :~)
She is so underweight and her muscles have atrophied as you can see most notably on her right arm and under her neck….she looks great in the bottom pic.
What a beautiful lady she is. This is so wonderful to see. It brings tears of joy for her.
amazing and beautiful to see how far this lovely girl has come since she found her home , well done and thank you each and everyone of you 🙂 xxx
I’ve been away from the website for about six months (sadly-I know I’ve missed so much) but I can tell there’s a big difference from the last time I was here, let alone from the time they moved in! You can really see the improvement in their eyes and the expressions on their face. They just look so healthy now in body and mood!
