I think it’s time to mention my rules for sanctuary surrender. (Take it or leave it- if you don’t like it just scroll on)

1) Check who their veterinarian is. CALL and confirm that they indeed do treat that facilities animals on a REGULAR basis. Verify all animals getting yearly exams. Also VERIFY LOCATION! *if the vet isn’t within emergency distance of 30min-1 hour (MAX) and if they need to “fly in” a vet. They are not a safe location!

2) Verify their 501c3 status! It’s public record! *if you want to go an extra step check their board of directors!

3) USDA license if they are, verify on aphis (public record!) and see if they have any hits on their name and if they are indeed in legal standing! *note MANY HAVE LOST THEIR LICENSE! If this is the case they tend to lie about it and run under the “radar” *red flags!*

4) If they are happy to receive your animals or are interested in specific species ITS A RED FLAG! A sanctuary works hard to keep animals IN THEIR HOMES! And they will go as far as to help sponsor animals for vet care if that is ever the reason. They don’t want more intakes because that’s more mouths to feed, more vet bills, more time for enrichment, more employee time to maintain care. A true sanctuary is not posting “we have taken in this many” in a joyful way! Nor are they doing the “please let me know if you have a species in need of a new home”. That’s not what sanctuaries do and it’s a red flag.

5) Temperature appropriate housing and enclosure sizing is set per standards for species! Please know they won’t take what they don’t have space for, during emergencies!

6) THEY DO NOT BUY YOUR MONKEY PERIOD! Nor purchase babies to “save” them!!!

7) THEY WILL NOT BREED PERIOD!!!

*If you are in need to surrender your primate please reach out to me or check my website. I am slowly adding locations to a safe list of true and credible locations. It is a VERY SHORT list currnetly. But I am adding to it as I get approvals and I visit!
We know primate ownership is difficult. No one is judging for the need to surrender. But it’s important that owners are doing their part to ensure their monkeys are safe! yog here

Getting the pack back out for a client session is always fun! Working on proper introductions to dogs is really important and at times missed. I’m thankful that I have a balanced pack that is able to work with me and help teach my clients what clear and accurate dog body language should look like!

When a client calls and needs help, we do our best to get there. These photos show how worth it, it really is.
As a professional trainer who focuses on behavior and the “top four” needs being met, this is the outcome! A fun loving animal who enjoys interacting with others and shredding awesome enrichment that gets a prize at the end! ♥️

Hey monkey clients, I have just re-opened the training group. I will post questions and answers and it's a safe space for you to post training videos or behavior videos for advice. I will also be doing live videos in that group. There is a $100 fee so please message me if you are interested and we will get you taken care of! The fee is the same no matter when you join and will be sent out to everyone again in January 2023. No matter when you join, all will reset in 2023 for new payment.
