Happy Birthday, Human Dave & Chimpanzee Gordo!

July 19, 2025 by Katelyn

Many thanks to Terry and Mike Stockdale for continuing to sponsor a day of sanctuary in celebration of Dave and Gordo on their shared special day!

“We would like to again sponsor July 19th in honor of our son Dave and his birthday buddy Gordo.We would also like to welcome Courageous George to sanctuary. His bravery and smile are heart-warming!

Happy Birthday, Dave, from all of us here at the sanctuary! Thanks for sharing your celebration with Gordo!

Gordo is turning 37 today and of course party preparation is underway, so be sure to tune in later today to join us in the celebration.

Happy Birthday, Gordo! We love you so much!!

And of course Gordo wouldn’t be Gordo without engaging in one of his favorite pastimes:

Gordo and Rayne on the Bray:

    If I had to guess I would say it’s a lucky star to be born under if you were born on the same day as Gordo. Is there a more lovable goofy chap? Happy birthday, Dave!! (Can’t wait for the birthday party later today. Happy birthday, dear Gordo!)
