Save the date! #GivingDayforApes is October 11, 2022. Giving Day for Apes is a global day of giving in support of sanctuaries and rescue centers providing rehabilitation or long-term care for apes around the world.

This year, your donations on Giving Day for Apes will be used to ensure that our enrichment program and daily care is second to none! Throughout the day you will learn about the different forms of enrichment provided to PPI’s chimpanzees and how your support is crucial to securing much-needed supplies for our program. You can learn more clicking the link in the bio. ⬆️

It might be a bit of a rainy day here at the sanctuary, but we aren't feeling very "melon"-choly about it because Toni Fisseler donated a watermelon party in honor of her friend Chloe's birthday! Happy Birthday, Chloe! Here are a few pics we were able to get of Justin and Lisa chowing down on one of their favorite snacks!
