At our Primate Sanctuary – the largest in the United States – the mission is to provide monkeys as high a quality of life as we can. The 186-acre sanctuary, located in south Texas, provides a safe, permanent home to 494 monkeys, many rescued from abuse in roadside zoos or as pets in private homes or retired from research.
Our History & PhilosophyOur primate sanctuary in Texas is the largest in the United States. Below we introduce you to just a few of the current residents. All of the monkeys below can be sponsored through our Monkey Adoption program. Joining our adoption program is a wonderful way to support the sanctuary and create a special connection between you and your chosen monkey.
Our Primate Sanctuary is home to 494 monkeys, many rescued from abuse in roadside zoos, in private homes where they were kept as pets, or retired from research. You can support our work at the Sanctuary by adopting a monkey or by making a donation! Your contribution will help us continue to provide lifelong care for the Sanctuary's deserving monkeys.
