Today is for Rachel and Ruby!

July 28, 2025 by Katelyn

Our heartfelt thanks today to long-time supporter and friend of the sanctuary, Rachel Ruggeri, for sponsoring this annual day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees and cows as a way to celebrate her birthday! Rachel would also especially like to honor Ruby McConnell Ruggeri today!

Rachel shared: “Ruby came to me when my father passed away on my birthday twelve years ago. So a good day to honor her.”

Rachel and her family have helped make so much possible for the chimpanzees and cows, making a lasting difference in their lives, and we’re so thrilled to share in her celebration today and in honoring Ruby! We are so grateful to them all.

Rachel and Ruby, wishing a beautiful day to you both from all of us here at the sanctuary!
