WHAT’S HAPPENING at PPS?

Building the New PPS Extension

PPS Extension roof and framework

We are currently in the process of building an outdoor extension to accommodate the monkeys now living indoors in portables. Construction of the new extension is now well under way, and the Sanctuary is need of financial support.

We are entering into the final stages of construction on the PPS Extension! The roof is now up, and we are in the process of getting water pipes and electricity to the building site. Corners, LTD. has fabricated all the caging materials, and shipped them out to Maui. Jeff from Corners, LTD will be coming to Maui at the end of June to install the panels.





We Need Your Help!

Please join with us in our life saving work. With your support, we can build the new
extension with outdoor enclosures for the monkeys now living indoors. Every
contribution counts and is greatly appreciated.

Envisioning the new PPS Extension

Rescue Fund

A Rescue Fund will allow us to provide refuge for at risk animals needing to be brought
to the Sanctuary immediately. Laboratories and pet owners often have deadlines for
placement and may not contribute to the costs involved in getting the animal to
Pacific Primate Sanctuary or provide for their housing and care. Your contributions will
allow us to reach out to these monkeys and bring them to this safe haven.

PPS INTERNSHIP

Words from our Angels

Each Intern who comes to Pacific Primate Sanctuary brings a unique perspective and
personal history. With each new Intern, the Sanctuary benefits from the knowledge of
that individual, so we are constantly growing and learning to be better caregivers.
Likewise, each Intern gains from her year as a primate caregiver at the Sanctuary.
The following quotes are from some of the Sanctuary Interns’ farewell letters:

Pacific Primate Sanctuary has given me the opportunity to join others in helping to
undo some damage done to these innocent creatures…. It is wonderful to be
surrounded by likeminded and conscious individuals who care about and for the earth’s
creatures. Mahalo to all Pacific Primates, human and non-human alike, for teaching me
compassion.                                       -Intern Vera

The Sanctuary has been a unique place for me to experience compassionate animal
care giving among a community of incredibly kindhearted individuals. The volunteers
at the Sanctuary taught me numerous lessons for life, including positivism, humility,
and selflessness.                               -Intern Elise

I have been really touched by the dedication, support and love all the volunteers (past
and present) show the Sanctuary, and I have really enjoyed being part of this
wonderful team and part of the monkeys lives, its been so rewarding to be able to
offer these marvelous monkeys a better life…. one of the best feelings is when you
totally feel overwhelmed and you look up and just see the monkeys being themselves
and instantly you feel a calming effect of peace and joy, it makes all your troubles
disappear and you feel so small.              -Intern Tez

The volunteers at PPS are a constant reminder that with compassion and love, very
few people can still make a very big difference. Pacific Primate Sanctuary has
definitely proven to be an angel magnet… This has been such a special and unique
experience and I can’t say thank you enough to the people who made it possible for
me to be a part of this effort.                    –Intern Alli
