Share with your friends!

Thank you so much to Melissa Marcus for sponsoring a day of sanctuary in memory of her mother, Arlen Bishop!

“In memory of my beloved mother, who loved all animals and taught me to love all of them, too.”

Melissa, it means so much that you chose to share your mother and her memory with all of us and the chimpanzees, thank you! What an incredible legacy she gave you. We’re sending you all the good thoughts today and hope you feel some of the comfort and joy you’ve helped bring to the chimps.

Beautiful, adventurous, endearing Annie:

Annie and her beloved bestie, Missy:

      My thoughts exactly. We should all be as good a friend as Annie is, and be so lucky to have as good a friend as Annie.
