Chimp-proof and Caregiver-Safe: Sanctuary Security in Action
Security at the Primate Rescue Center isn’t just about locks and doors—it’s about ensuring a safe, stable and enriching environment for both the primates and the humans who care for them.
Our Team

PRC Member Event 2025
The 2025 PRC Member Event was an incredible day of celebration for the rescued chimps and monkeys who call this sanctuary home!
Intern Spotlight – Emilie Dixon
This summer we are delighted to have Emilie Dixon as our resident intern at the sanctuary! Emilie has been hard at work building enrichment for the monkeys – the Fire Hose/Container Feeder!
Say Please…The Magic of Operant Conditioning
At the heart of the Primate Rescue Center (PRC), the well-being of our primate residents takes center stage. One of the many ways we ensure their welfare is through our evolving operant conditioning program, meticulously spearheaded by our Carestaff Supervisor, Elizabeth Gatlin.
