Swinging into the New Year!

by

Today’s video features Dora showing us a great way to swing into the New Year!

This past year has been a good one at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest. Some of the most memorable moments in no specific order are:

  • The integration happened between the Willy B’s and Cy’s groups making them a group of 9 chimpanzees: Rayne, Lucky, Mave, Honey B, Dora, Willy B, Terry, Gordo, Cy!
  • Young’s Hill expansion was finalized!
  • Missy and Jamie climbed trees for the first time ever!
  • The chute’s expansion that connects the front rooms, the Bray, and the green house was finalized and it is a big hit!
  • Hoot! was held in person for the first time since 2019!
  • The Comfort and Joy! auction was a success!
  • Grace and Jenna joined the caregiving team!
  • Caregiver Kelsi got married to the love of her life, Adam!

Wishing everybody a happy and safe New Years Eve,

All of us at CSNW

 

 

 

For the CSNW humans

Our sincere thanks to Colleen Walford for sponsoring this day of sanctuary in honor of the humans of the sanctuary!

“In honor of the staff and volunteers at Chimpanzee Sanctuary NW for all their work in 2022. It is such a pleasure to read about the chimps and see their pictures. Thanks for all the hard work by the staff and volunteers in sharing sanctuary life and events with your followers.”

Thank you for your kind thoughts and words, Colleen, it means to much. We so appreciate you (and all our amazing supporters) for being here with us and the chimpanzees. You make sanctuary possible. And I know I speak for everyone here when I say it’s an honor caring for all the amazing individuals who call the sanctuary home.
