Lakeview Monkey Sanctuary

We believe that the animals in our care have the right to peace and tranquillity and time to be with their own kind. We offer them a safe home for life. Our objective is simply to Rescue, Re-home and Rehabilitate. We are often asked why we put ourselves, and our family and friends, through the wringer to run a monkey sanctuary. The simple answer is because we want to alleviate the suffering of primates by providing a safe and permanent home in as natural an environment as possible, and because we want to give something back. To achieve this, our work falls under three headings: Rescue – We travel the country in response to phone calls from other rescue organisations and individuals to reach monkeys in distress. Re-home – Once a monkey has been rescued, he is brought back to LMS to spend the rest of his life with his own kind. Rehabilitate – Monkeys suffer trauma and distress as much as we humans do. To rehabilitate these wonderful animals takes time, patience and kindness, all found at LMS.
