Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
Barbara King has sponsored today in appreciation of the chimpanzees’ caregivers. (Thank you, Barbara!) We’re lucky to have a great team of staff and volunteers who provide direct care to the chimps every day. It’s a demanding job, but I think we’d all agree that the rewards are infinite. After all, we get to look at faces like this each day:
Thank you to Barbara and to all of our supporters who make our jobs that much easier!
When you’re the boss, exploring the hill is serious business.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such silly behavior revolving around food.
Annie spent some time grooming Missy in the greenhouse this morning:
Grooming eventually turned into some mellow, silly play. My favorite thing about this video is that by looking at Missy’s serious face, you’d never know she was playing.
Jody has been a supporter of the chimpanzees since they arrived from the laboratory in Pennsylvania almost four years ago. Her latest generous act is to sponsor today (her birthday!). Sponsoring a day of sanctuary is a great way to contribute directly to the chimps’ daily care, and we’re so moved by Jody’s thoughtful gift on her own special day. Many thanks and happy birthday wishes to you, Jody!
Here’s a photo of Jody’s namesake doing what she does best:
We’ve got some contented chimpanzees on our hands today.

Foxie has received so many new Dora the Explorer dolls in the last week- mostly from her great friend, Leslie Sodaro, who has been collecting for the last several weeks. We tied several together with a string, which resulted in some a-DORA-bleness.
Foxie has such great friends! On behalf of the lady herself, thanks so much to all for keeping Foxie so happy and enriched!
