You can tell this place is carefully, and lovingly put together and mantained by experts. All monkeys look happy, healthy, and loved. Can't wait to come back!

Went here a while ago to volunteer, would not recommend. Staff was rude and even started using sign language to talk about us, not knowing someone in our group was fluent. There were a lot of unnecessary rules which made it difficult to get the jobs done.

I love being a volunteer for the Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary. This is truly a heartwarming experience and everyone has so much compassion and love for the monkeys, the sanctuary, and each other. I care about the monkeys very much and I look forward to every visit. ? ? ?
Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary provides permanent high-quality sanctuary care for New World monkeys being retired from laboratory research, ex-pets, or monkeys who have been confiscated by the authorities.
Jungle Friends is also committed to advocacy and education on behalf of all captive non-human primates, and to provide assistance to improve the circumstances of captive primates wherever possible.
We work cooperatively with a national network of other credible animal sanctuaries, government agencies, other primate and animal protection organizations, and qualified individuals to find placement for unwanted monkeys and to combat the exploitation and mistreatment of captive primates.
