July 8, 2023 - Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest

Summer is officially here for the residents and staff at the sanctuary, it’s been in the 90’s for the last couple days and that means more juice pools for the chimps and some extra Popsicle breaks for the staff and chimps

Missy enjoyed a Gatorade pool along with a refreshing late-morning Popsicle

Burrito and Jamie shared a Gatorade pool with blueberries in it

Jamie is a refined lady who prefers the use of a cup vs sipping directly from the communal juice pool

And afterwards Jamie enjoys a Popsicle.. or two

On the other side of the building with Cy’s group:

Rayne had a pool all to herself in the greenhouse until Honey B came upon the scene

Honey B and Terry foraging for blueberries in their juice pool

But also, Kelsi, Sofia and Lizz took a much needed Popsicle break

Our many thanks to Joan O’Flaherty, who has loyally sponsored a day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees and bovines in memory of her parents, Ned and Noreen O’Flaherty, for many years now.

‘Today is my late parents anniversary. They loved animals and would be delighted to see chimpanzees and cows enjoying their sanctuary.”

Thank you so much for celebrating your parents this way, Joan! How lovely to be remembered and honored in such a way and to have one’s legacy continue to ripple outward making a difference in the lives of so many. We appreciate you sharing your special memories of Ned and Noreen here for the chimps and our tiny bovine family.
