Welcoming in the New Year

December 31, 2014 by Debbie

We are all continuously so amazed by how generous our supporters are—truly, you all keep this sanctuary running! We are able to give Jamie, Foxie, Burrito, Missy, Annie, Negra, and Jody a cozy warm home, good healthy food, long-lasting friendships with caregivers, and an endless supply of trolls, boots, and other enrichment directly because of YOU.

This year, our family of staff and supporters has grown stronger and our hearts have only gotten bigger from how grateful we are to see these seven special beings live their lives without the fear of being in confined biomedical lab cages—not knowing what would happen next.

Now, you can see in their eyes they trust us. They trust us. It truly amazes me after all they’ve been through, that they not only forgive humans, but learn to build friendships with confidence, trust us with their most prized possessions, and even help us out when needed. It’s because of your support that we can maintain these important relationships with these chimpanzees and provide them with hope, love, home, and sanctuary.

Our goal for year-end giving of individual donations was fairly optimistic, but we’re getting closer and closer every minute that we creep toward welcoming 2015. As I write this, we are just $1,512 short of our goal for year-end giving! In just a few short hours, you can help us make it to our goal for this year (or surpass it!)

Dora and friends got dressed up for the New Year’s Eve bash:

Everyone enjoyed a sparkling apple cider forage, especially Jamie:

Everyone else was busy collecting the nuts and coconut flakes we scattered around like confetti:

Cheers to you and yours, and Happy New Year from all of us at

    That Jamie is a party girl, who knew?! There she is drinking from a red, yellow, blue, and green champagne glass. That’s 4 glasses of bubbly! Nothing worse than a cider hangover. I’ve tried that technique of Missy’s when I’m trying to cure my drinking hiccups!! Even the Dora Twins look a little tipsy in that last photo (I think Nega is a little shocked). WOW, what a celebration!! Looks like a wonderful way to ring in the new year.

    Happy New Year to all. I look forward to all the wonders and surprises the new year (and your blog) will bring.
