Share with your friends!

Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Sylvia Gandolfo in honor of Carrie Miller! Sylvia and Carrie are long-time friends of the chimpanzees and gift one another with the generous and compassionate support of the chimpanzees. The chimps have so many wonderful friends and we’re so grateful for the love and good they inspire in the world. Sylvia shared this message about today:

“Honoring Carrie to acknowledge her lifelong, passionate understanding of the importance of all living beings and the need to provide rescue and sanctuary for those who have been mistreated. Happy Anniversary!”

Sylvia, thank you so much for choosing to celebrate Carrie and your special day by including the chimps! We greatly appreciate how you both hold the chimps in your hearts and include them in your lives.

Carrie, we’re so happy to celebrate in your honor today! Thank you for all you do to make the world a kind and loving place and for us all. We hope you have a wonderful day of celebration!!

Your pal, Burrito, as his usual adorable self:

    Oh Burrito!!! Such a clown. He is just too much!

    I had never seen the photo of Annie and Burrito. What a wonderfully touching image. That right there is what it is all about — sanctuary and love. With a full heart, I say thank you Carrie, Sylvia, and all of you at CSNW for what you do.

    Thank you and congratulations to Carrie and Sylvia!! Annie and Burrito hugging is just more touching than words can convey!! Maybe a celebration in itself of freedom and joy which is better when it’s shared! Hugs
