Share with your friends!

This special day of sanctuary and gratitude is sponsored by Dr. Jennifer Wallace in honor of the humans of CSNW! Jen shared this lovely message about today:

“On this day of thanks, I would like to express my gratitude to all of the CSNW staff, interns, and volunteers. Special thanks to J.B., Diana, Anna, Kelsi, Anthony, Katelyn and Dr. Erin. I am so grateful there are compassionate and dedicated people such as yourselves to provide a safe, loving and comfortable home to the 10 chimpanzees in your care. The world is a better place with all of you! Happy Thanksgiving!”

Jen, thank you for such a kind and gracious gift for the chimpanzees and humans here! We are so touched. Please know the profound gratitude that we hold in our hearts for you, Dr. Erin Zamzow and Dr. Erika Nelson Rinear, and all the incredible veterinary and medical professionals who give so generously of your amazing skills and incredible hearts to help ensure the highest level of health and well-being possible for the chimpanzees.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Our beloved Burrito guy seems most appropriate to share as we celebrate the gratitude in our hearts:

    Many hearts overflow with gratitude and thankfulness for CSNW – the incredible staff, volunteers, vets, students, supporters, followers etc … and to the chimps for being such amazing souls. You brighten my days… except on the occasionally and inevitable days of stress and worry.. I believe the posts help flow good and healing energies to CSNW no matter what kind of day it is… especially the really hard ones. Hugs to all!
