OPR is a USDA licensed primate sanctuary. We are an
independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was
established in1998.

Our mission is to provide lifetime care in a humane and enriching environment to unwanted, orphaned or crippled monkeys that originate from private owners, from government agencies, and to
those retiring from a life of research.

Through education we raise awareness of the complexities involved in keeping primates as pets, and to discuss adult or aberrant behaviors caused by various aspects of captive life. Our goal is to reduce the number of unwanted primates in the private sector. Our efforts also include education relating to the effects of human encroachment on primate species in the wild.

We offer health, diet, enrichment and management information to all who care for captive primates, to promote humane conditions for primates maintained in all captive environments.

OPR offers internship opportunities for veterinary, zoology, primatology, and psychology students. For information contact Polly Schultz. Categories:   Animal Services
