Taking care of a 150-acre property is a BIG job and our maintenance department always rises to the occasion.
Feeding nearly 220 chimpanzees is a BIG job. Kitchen staff Joshua Henderson and Jessica Troesh unload and prepare thousands of pounds of fresh produce each week!
Our dedicated staff provides round-the-clock care for over 220 rescued chimpanzees, every day of the year, no matter the weather. From blistering summer heat to unpredictable storms, they ensure each resident is safe, healthy, and loved. Their dedication is more than a job—it’s a commitment to giving these incredible beings a chance to live the retirement they deserve.
This Giving Day for Apes, we ask for your support in recognizing the tireless efforts of our staff. By donating, you’re helping provide for the needs of our chimpanzee residents, in honor of the caregivers who pour their hearts into this work every day.
Save the Chimps
Decades of Care, A Lifetime of Compassion
| Save the Chimps is home to nearly 220 residents rescued from medical research, the entertainment industry, and the pet trade. Did you know that captive chimpanzees have a life expectancy of 50 years or more!? A chimpanzee is considered geriatric at age 35. With nearly 1 out of 2 residents currently considered elderly, geriatric care is a major and growing focus for the sanctuary. |
Boy
Age: 54
Boy spent decades in various medical research labs until his rescue in 2002, when Save the Chimps found him living alone in the most dismal section of the lab. Upon being introduced to other chimps, he perked up and became an active and energetic member of his group. He now loves to explore his expansive island home; his favorite activities are picking the cattails along the waterways and lengthy grooming sessions with his friends.
