In honor and memory of Harrison & Rita

July 25, 2025 by Katelyn

Our many thanks to Ashley Stroud for her third annual sponsorship of a day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees and cows in honor and memory of Harrison & Rita.

“Harrison and Rita were my dogs and the best friends I could’ve asked for.”

We’re so touched that you choose to celebrate your beloved Harrison and Rita by making a difference for the chimpanzees and cows, Ashley. Thank you so much for allowing us to share in their memory and legacy and we will be thinking of you all today.

George!

    Oh Ashley. What a beautiful way to honor the memory of your best friends by honoring a day for your chimpanzee and bovine best buds. For me, there is no greater best friend, no one more beloved than the dogs you share your life with.

    Katelyn, thanks for today’s photos. Especially the top photo of Burrito! I feel like we haven’t seen much of him lately so seeing his precious face was a joyous treat!
