A Day At Jungle Friends

Ever wonder what goes on at Jungle Friends? Well, now you can get a glimpse into life at Jungle Friends...meet the staff and interns at the sanctuary. We have openings for interns and we also need another monkey caregiver!! Go to Jungle Friends website www.junglefriends.org for more information.

Almost Wild

Watch this mini-documentary to find out more about Jungle Friends monkeys and why they need our help -- and yours. Whether they came from entertainment, research, or were someone's pet, almost every captive monkey you see was stolen from his or her family. Life in captivity can never match life in the wild, but we provide monkeys a safe, forever home that is as natural as possible. It's Almost Wild, and it's the best humans can do.

Visiting the Sanctuary


Volunteers and interns have access to Sanctuary grounds based on their work responsibilities.

Monkey Sponsors and Donors enjoy special access to Jungle Friends (by appointment only). Learn more about our Sponsor-A-Monkey Program.

Being a non-profit primate sanctuary, we rely on kind-hearted individuals like you. Our ability to provide a safe haven for these unwanted, abused, or neglected primates can be directly attributed to the donations, supplies, and time given to us by individuals who care enough to go out of their way to help others... in this case, to help the Jungle Friends monkeys!

If you are at Jungle Friends as a volunteer, sponsor, or donor, we know you will remember that this is their home, their sanctuary. Many of the monkeys are anxious around new people; a lot of visitors coming and going can be upsetting, especially for the monkeys who were 'used' in laboratory research. Their comfort and well-being is our top priority. They deserve so much more than we are able to give them. They were born to be wild, so we try to provide them with as much enjoyment and as little stress as possible!
