Peaceable Primate Sanctuary

Peaceable Primate Sanctuary Peaceable Primate Sanctuary is a non-profit sanctuary for primates retired from medical research.

Peaceable Primate Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that provides a retirement sanctuary for primates that have been used in research or kept as pets. We are home to 43 baboons and macaques, we provide this sanctuary home once studies are completed and the monkeys are no longer needed. We receive no state or federal funding and rely on people generous support to fulfill our mission.

This past weekend we were able to host the University of Illinois Pre-Vet Club. They enjoyed a guided tour of the sanctuary and wet labs by Dr. Bolton, Dr. Darbyshire and sanctuary manager Erin Roberts. Throughout the day they learned how our veterinarians and staff provide care to over 150 retirees.

Everyone loved seeing Mira in her hammock. We could always use more especially with additional retirees arriving next month. How many can we get? And of course Mira will sharel (much to her disappointment) ☹️

What does Mira do when its cold and windy outside? She gets comfy, if she fits then she sits. 📷: Sanctuary manager Erin

Our new macaque area is coming along nicely. This new facility will provide retirement to 40 additional retirees, with it being already 3/4 full it may be time to start another. In the last 9 years we have welcomed over 25 facilities into our primate retirement family and with this new area we will add a few more. We are blessed to help primates on their journey “From Research to Retirement”
