Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary offers sanctuary homes for monkeys who have been cast-off from the pet trade, used in research, or confiscated by authorities. It is our goal to ensure that each monkey is in the highest possible state of well being, and enjoying the companionship of other monkeys.
One night recently, Ozzie woke crying and in pain. We rushed him to the West End Animal Hospital where he received a steroid injection for pain relief and a PEG IV to repair nerve damage. Ozzie has recovered remarkably but still needs continued treatment.

A group of volunteers from the University of Florida and elsewhere, visited Jungle friends Primate Sanctuary http://junglefriends .org to help out and celebrate the Great American Meat Out with a Vegan meal funded with a grant from A Well-Fed World's Food for Thought program.
Ebi, a Weeper monkey, badly dislocated his rear left leg. It was feared that amputation might be necessary. Dr. Schermer was able to get the joint back into place after several attempts. So far so good. Watch for his story to be continued.
Here is Ozzie getting much needed massage therapy for his stiff joints and muscles caused by Ozzie's compensation after the amputation of his rear right leg.
The Alternative Spring Break students from University of Illinois at Chicago built a monkey habitat at Jungle Friends from start to finish in less than one week. Go to http://www.junglefri ends.org/extreme_mon k_makeover.shtml to see how it all came together.
Thank you so much for all of your help, we love you!

Wendell is an elderly capuchin who just arrived at Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary. Although Wendell has had some rough times, he is having a great time doing 'monkey things' with Buddie and Cosmo!
