Our heartfelt thanks to long-time friend of the sanctuary, Rachel Ruggeri, for sponsoring this day of sanctuary!

“This day is in honor of my birthday. I wish happiness and freedom to all creatures, including the Chimpanzees and Bovines.”

Happy Birthday, Rachel! Thank you so much for always including the chimpanzees and bovines in your life. We are so grateful for all you help make possible in their lives. All of us wish you the most wonderful day! Maybe even full of raw sweet potatoes (or whatever else you like to forage for) if you’re lucky! 😉

    A happy birthday to you, Rachel. I thank you for sponsoring the Sanctuary today, as your largesse had the effect of the blog post displaying beautiful photographs of our beloved friends. Keep cool today, and as Dora would appear to recommend, treat yourself to a popsicle.
