That time of year again!

We have four little baby raccoons that don’t have their eyes open yet. We found on our back patio at work. The mother‘s been coming up to the front porch and eating dog food each night. Awesome to see Wildlife so close by.

Sometimes around the holidays people get very rundown and weak. This is mainly mentally. For many reasons.
Take a few minutes to watch this video. See the inspiration and a personal friend of mine. And that your personal capabilities may be more than you realize. Fighting through the toughness of life. My friend Leo Morales shows us firsthand. He lives it every day and fights forward. This show if he can do it we can do it!
Pure, willpower. The power of yourself.

Evening meal!

Just got home from flying tonight. Heard my buddy screaming on the front porch ready to eat.

Owl flies over for a meal.

It may sound silly but it’s a very unique experience to be able to have an animal like this come to greet you. I’m sure it won’t last much longer. He will be moving on. I’ll enjoy it while I can!

El Potro Mexican Cafe in Lee’s Summit. I think this is some of the best food in the area. But when I don’t eat it all. I’ve always got a couple little Asian’s at home that really seem to enjoy the leftovers!

El Porto’s leftovers!

Not every day you get to have breakfast with a little guy like this. He flies out of a tree and lands in front of you. It’s truly amazing!

Gator getting to go back outside! This is catfish moseing his way out to his moving container. Then to his outdoor facility.

Monkey Island Rescue And Sanctuary is a federally recognized 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the rescue of unwanted and abandoned exotic animals, with a particular focus on primates. Located in Greenwood, Missouri, Monkey Island Rescue And Sanctuary cares for over 250 animals from a multitude of different species. We are passionate about the preservation and protection of these beautiful animals, as well a helping to educate people on why many exotic animals do not make ideal pets. Many of the animals in our care were purchased as pets by people who found they could not handle them

"They come here after they're too hard to handle or too expensive to keep, and then we maintain their lives for the time that they have left to live, however long that is.” DANA SAVORELLI - Founder & Director, Monkey Island Rescue And Sanctuary

FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR - DANA SAVORELLI

From a very early age Dana Savorelli has been working with and teaching others about animals, their handling, care and conservation. His passion for animals led him to create Midwest Tongs, the world's leading company for the creation of innovative tools specifically designed for the handling of animals in captivity and the wild. Midwest Tongs is the first choice among professionals around the globe for the safe and humane handling of reptiles, mammals, and other animals. Midwest Tongs are even found in industrial or commercial settings where safety in reaching and lifting are paramount. Dana is a recognized expert in the humane handling of animals in captivity and the wild.

Dana founded Monkey Island Rescue And Sanctuary as a place of rescue for unwanted and abandoned exotic animals. Without his intervention, many of these beautiful animals would have died from neglect or euthanasia. Each day, Monkey Island Rescue And Sanctuary cares for over 250 animals with food, shelter, medical care and enrichment. The animals vary from apes and monkeys to cobras and sloths. Each species has special diet and habitat requirements along with round the clock monitoring of their health and welfare.

Monkey Island Rescue And Sanctuary is a federally recognized 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, care and housing of unwanted and abandoned exotic animals. Additionally, MIRAS is licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture as a requirement for some of the species in their care. MIRAS was founded by Dana Savorelli, who operated as its director. MIRAS is located in Greenwood, Missouri. The facilities are not open to the public, however the organization operates a very active FACEBOOK page where people can see their work, learn more about the animals, ask questions and donate to support the organization.
