Share Your Heart

Dear Friends of Jungle Friends,

There has been an Elvis Sighting!

Elvis, a young brown capuchin, is now in quarantine at a Texas-based sanctuary. Following a biting incident, Elvis faced a death sentence until the sanctuary stepped in. Soon Elvis will be on his way to a permanent sanctuary home at Jungle Friends.

Claude, Lee and Hannah are heading to Primarily Primates (PPI) in Texas next week to lend a hand there, and on their way home they will pick up Elvis and bring him back to Jungle Friends. Elvis is only about 3 years old, so we think he will be a good friend to Jack, who is also a youngster.

Please 'Share Your Heart' and sponsor Elvis today.

Another biting monkey - imagine that!

Simon is a squirrel monkey in South Florida who also needs a home. Simon was rescued from an abusive situation and awaits a sanctuary home. To build a home for Simon here at Jungle Friends, we need to raise $3,225 for an indoor enclosure and small outdoor habitat. Simon’s new home will be situated right next to Buddy Boy.

Buddy Boy will be Simon’s neighbor at his new home
