Our
Beloved Companions Can Develop
Special Needs
Some
pets may not
do as well in our homes as we'd hoped. They may be escape
artists; leaping over or burrowing
beneath every safety barrier placed
before them. They may be anxious, needy,
bored or uncooperative; relieving their
angst on a prized oriental carpet,
upholstered chair, or designer shoes. They may be old, grouchy,
achy, ailing, or troubled by
neurological disorders that cause
incontinence. These are, indeed,
problems for our homes, property, and
relationships with our best friends. Despite these problems,
our companion animals can continue to
live long, happy and productive lives in
an environment that supports their
special quirks and needs.
the
Animal Sanctuary
To help meet those needs New England
Primate Sanctuary expanded its mission to include
special needs companion animals. As well as providing a safe place for
them to live, our goal is to see a day when destroying
animals is no longer an accepted solution for chronic
illness, behavioral disorders, overpopulation and
homelessness.
This requires providing specialized
sanctuary facilities that accommodate their special
needs; education programs that focus on spay-neuter
awareness and proper pet care; and collaborating with many wonderful animal rescues and
shelters that specialize in adoptions.
We prefer
to work with agencies that specialize in
pet adoptions to expedite finding
forever homes for adoptable companion
animals. However, from time to time we may
feature adoptable pets on our
website.
Unfortunately, since animals bred for and
trained for aggression are a danger to everyone, they
are not eligible for sanctuary. These appalling
practices must be stopped.
