Adopt Louie!
Louie is a miracle monkey who survived years of cruelty and suffering as a “pet” in a private home. You can be part of his incredible recovery by adopting him!
Meet Louie
Louie arrived at the sanctuary with five other monkeys in the Fall of 2022. He is a vervet monkey who had been kept illegally as a pet for many years in Illinois. Even though the keeping of monkeys as pets is banned in the state of Illinois, Louie is the seventh monkey we have rehomed from there in the last twelve months…
Adopt Louie
Give Louie a brighter future by adopting him!
Monkey adoption comes with an adoption package, which includes a photo of the monkey – or monkeys – you adopted, the animal’s biography, a certificate of adoption, and a plush toy. The plush toy features a design without plastic eyes, noses, beads, or whiskers and the plush and fill are made from 100% recycled material!
You can also maximize your donation by foregoing the adoption package by selecting the Virtual Adoption option. Adopters and gift recipients also receive updates about the monkeys.

About the Sanctuary
At our primate sanctuary – one of the largest in the United States – our mission is to provide monkeys as high a quality of life as we can. The 175-acre sanctuary, located in south Texas, provides a safe, permanent home to monkeys, many rescued from abuse in roadside zoos or as pets in private homes or retired from animal experimentation.
