Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
Jamie’s group was SO happy this morning! We had 3 different groups of wrestlers in 3 different front rooms! Today, enjoy Negra and Burrito mixing it up in front room 1.
And, don’t forget! The Sweet 16 Online Auction goes live tomorrow, June 10th, and ends the 16th. Check out Spring Rayne by our very own Caregiver Ellen. Although, I might fight you for it!
We’re so fortunate to have a second day of sanctuary sponsored for the chimpanzees today. Our heartfelt thanks to Nancy Suttles, one of our amazing volunteers, for sharing her heart, and her sister, Kathy, with the chimpanzees and us all today:
“In memory of Kathy, along with gratitude to the chimps and humans at CSNW. Today is the Celebration of Life gathering for my sister, Kathy, who passed away recently after a short battle with cancer. She was an animal lover so sponsoring a day for the chimps seems fitting as we honor her today. Losing her has been tough so as a volunteer, CSNW been a sanctuary for my broken and weary heart of which I’m so grateful. It’s simply a place of kindness, support, hard work, perseverance & joy.”
Nancy, we are so deeply sorry for the loss of your sister and honored that you would choose to share her memory here today. It means so much to know that the sanctuary can serve as such to you during this profoundly painful time. We are so grateful you are here and we are thinking of you, Kathy, and your loved ones today.

Cutie Gordo! Some of you may recall seeing Nancy’s name in J.B.’s post about Gordo’s recent health exam, during which Nancy, who happens to be a retired RN, graciously shared her skills to help monitor Gordo’s safe recovery and we’re just so grateful:

Many thanks to Donna Dinsmore for choosing to celebrate her special day by sponsoring a day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees!
“This is my birthday and I would love to have the chimps celebrate it with me.”
We hope this is your best birthday yet, Donna! We truly appreciate you thinking of the chimpanzees in this way. Have a wonderful, happy day!
