The current state of the sanctuary, in this moment, is a 100% chance of snow with Jamie spending the day with her books. She’s still thoroughly enamored with the Lola ya Bonobo Sanctuary book and is also enjoying her new boot and shoe books.
I just snapped this photo of Jamie’s nest in the playroom:
She left her cozy nest long enough to throw me one of her new boots so that I could put it on and play a game of indoor chase for a few minutes.

And then make a year-end gift to help us reach the goal of $20,000 raised in the next four days before the clock strikes midnight and the calendar turns to 2018.
I don’t have a lot of money but do have access to a good amount of gently used toys and would like to send a care package. I’ve been following the chimps for quite a while now so I’m fairly certain I know what they like and what would not be acceptable, but I wanted to make sure you would accept a package of toys as a donation before I mail it off. Is there a list somewhere that states what they can and cannot play with?
Thanks!
Hi Chris! There are quite a few restrictions on what we can give the chimpanzees. We have a “Guidelines for Gifts” page, but this doesn’t necessarily cover everything 🙂 Here’s the link: http://www.chimpsanctuarynw.org/you_can_help/single/guidelines
I am so inspired by the future plans for CSNW. Your hearts hold so much love, hope and promise for the future of primates and other deserving animals. The property you acquired looks like a pristine paradise, it is absolutely breathtaking. As is, a much needed preserve for all that thrives within. I wish you all the best as you move forward into your 10th year (wow!!) of providing HOPE. LOVE. HOME… SANCTUARY.
