Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest

Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary

In memory of Doreen

by Katelyn

So many thanks to Donna Hughes for sponsoring this day of sanctuary in celebration and memory of her sister, Doreen, and in honor of George, Foxie, and all the wonderful beings who call the sanctuary home.

“It’s impossible to believe 7 years has passed. I’d like to honor Doreen with some photos of George! She of course, did not know of him, but would be (is thrilled) thrilled to know he is at CSNW, enjoying his Best Life. As George’s birthday is coming up on April 5, it will give me a smile as I remember Dor on this day. Thank you for all that you do for all of the individuals, and give our Foxie a special Hello. Dor was so happy to “meet” Foxie! Don”

We miss Doreen as well, Don. Thank you for continuing to share her with us and we’re thinking of you, too. <3

George is turning 22 on Sunday! Can you believe it will be his first birthday here AND that it’s been almost a year since he arrived?!

Looking through the x-ray box (for hands and feet). 🙂

And of course, we have to gaze upon Foxie and her fabulous self!!:

    Happy to honor Doreen and her love and compassion for the chimpanzees who call CSNW home. It’s touching that you share your love for her every year. I can feel your joy whenever you mention your visit to the sanctuary. Here’s to young George and the one and only Foxie! (Katelyn! That closeup of Foxie is wonderful!!)

    Thank you, Donna, for honoring the memory of your twin sister. Given her love for the chimpeople who reside at the CSNW, and her friendship with Foxie, there can be no doubt that the rescue of George to his new home would hearten Doreen.

    Thank you once again, Don, for including the chimpy people when you honor Doreen. Indeed, she is smiling down.
