In celebration of home, sanctuary, and better lives!

August 21, 2025 by Katelyn

Thanks so much to Donna Hughes for sponsoring this day of sanctuary and including the chimpanzees and cows as she celebrates her and her late sister, Doreen’s, anniversary in their beloved home of New York City: 

“August 21 ….the day Doreen and I moved to New York City. It is bittersweet she is no longer here to celebrate, but she LOVED CSNW and all of the residents. So, to each individual who has moved to Sanctuary here, they also moved to have a better life, and boy, do they ever! Looking forward to the great photos I know will be posted, from the “Cle Elum 7″ to new resident George!! Don”

We’re celebrating right along with you and Doreen, Don. Hope your day is full of memories of special moments and places you both shared in your extraordinary home in the city! We appreciate all your love for the chimpanzees and cows!

    Thanks, Donna, for always thinking of our favorite chimpy people when honoring your sister’s memory. Though it’s a bit chilly for August today, I hope you get out to the park for a bit

    Thanks Donna for honoring your sister by supporting CSNW. Thanks, Katelyn, for some great photos today, especially the one of George. Take care everyone in the Pacific Northwest as we head into another heat wave.

    Thank you Donna for always thinking of the sanctuary on your special memory day. As expected, Katelyn did post fabulous photos! George dropping a grape (?!) from his mouth and a rare photo of all seven of Jody’s group out on Young’s Hill together!
