Welcome to PPS Volunteer- Dan
Dan is spending his “vacation” on Maui
volunteering at PPS, before heading to Vet School. He first heard about the Sanctuary two years ago. When he arrived on Maui, he wrote us saying: “I would love to help out at the sanctuary in
any way. It was one of my biggest motivations towards the trip out here.” Dan
is now volunteering several days each week and has made himself available
whenever and wherever needed. We are so grateful to have his skilled and
willing help! He will always have the animals’ and caregivers’ ALOHA.
Congratulations to PPS Volunteer
Rachel for graduating from the AM Shift!
We look
forward to providing training in Emergency Care Protocol and to helping you
master critical care skills. Thank you for your dedication and selfless service
to the monkeys!

PPS INTERNSHIP
Intern Elise Reconnects with PPS
Following her Internship at the Sanctuary in 2006, Elise
was accepted to Tufts Cummings School of
Veterinary Medicine, Class of 2012, earning her Doctorate of Veterinary
Medicine. She is going on to specialize in exotic animal pathology at U.C.
Davis. Elise was very pleased to see all the additions and progress PPS has
made over the past 6 years. She writes: “It was
a great joy being back at the Sanctuary. The monkeys look so healthy and
happy.” We are so pleased that the
Internship at PPS had such a positive influence on Elise’s career path and wish
her and her friend, Andrew, success in their studies of exotic animal
medicine. It will be of great benefit
to the monkeys to have their input and veterinary support in the future. Thank
you to our benefactors for making the PPS
Intern program possible!
Welcoming
our newest PPS Resident Intern, Edythe
Edie has spent the last
several years at a large Zoo. She
spent a year volunteering as a primate keeper, and the last 2 years as a zookeeper
with many different species, including raptors and various mammals. Her true
passion lies in working with primates. Edie felt the need to leave the zoo (and
a salaried position) when she learned about PPS and resonated deeply with our
mission and methods. She is thrilled to be working as a volunteer in a
Sanctuary setting- where the wellbeing of the animals is the primary
concern. Edie arrived on November
13th, and is excelling in her animal care training.
In her acceptance letter, she writes:
It is with
great joy, honor and excitement that I
accept the opportunity to join the Pacific Primate Sanctuary as a resident
intern. I look forward to learning about primate care in the sanctuary
setting as well as continuing to learn about providing for the physiological
and psychological needs of these incredibly social, intelligent and sensitive
animals. I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to dedicate my whole being to
maximizing the quality of life for these rescued New World primates. I am eager to meet the Pacific Primate Sanctuary team and start
contributing to the healing and care of the
monkeys. This is an incredible
opportunity, something I have always wanted, and I thank you for inviting me to
be part of such a important mission, providing nurturing care and a quality
life for these very special residents.
Welcome Edie, we are proud and happy to have you on our Team!
