More information close Previous home details: Buddy and Remi arrived together. They may have been brothers, but that is not known for sure. They lived in a pet store in BC, where they were housed in a birdcage that had been partitioned into two spaces. Condition upon arrival: It was necessary to separate them as they showed aggressive tendencies towards each other. They were both tiny on arrival, weighing in at about 4.5 pounds each. Buddy showed very aggressive behaviours. Remi was very timid, hiding under a blanket in order to feel some security. Progress: The two boys were housed in adjacent enclosures next to the kitchen. Buddy, while still aggressive, with time became much calmer. Remi was also much more comfortable, still sleeping in his blanket, but much less timid overall. Both gained weight, had brighter eyes and hair, and made full use of the space available to them. Both boys had outdoor areas for the first time, and they loved them! Personality: Buddy used to challenge people, so in the Barn we would try not to upset him by being too close or startling him. He could often be found high up in his enclosure looking down at everything going on in the kitchen. Favourite Activity: Buddy enjoyed a scratch, and would sit comfortably while someone he had come to trust gave him one. Favourite Food: Dried cranberries were a special treat.
black spider monkey

More information close Previous home details: George came from a farm in Manitoba. When he arrived with Susie, it was understood that after George's death, Susie would return to the farm. But George did not cooperate in this, and it was agreed that the two could stay on at SBFPS. George and Susie were very close friends and would protect each other from any and all perceived threats. Condition upon arrival: George's health was poor on arrival. He had much difficulty getting around his enclosure - he could barely walk and had no muscle power to use for swinging. He suffered from various bacterial infections over the next year or so. Progress: Over the 15 years he was at the sanctuary George became a firm favourite with volunteers and visitors alike. He welcomed scratches and massages as he raised his arm in typical spider monkey fashion. He learned to trust and enjoy new toys and additions to his enclosure and soon was able to use his prehensile tail again. Personality: George was very vocal, and talked to everyone who came into the barn. He chortled when he got his favourite foods and he salivated uncontrollably when he was given a lime. He was one expressive monkey. George did not know meanness - only love. The sanctuary will be a much quieter home without George. Favourite Activity: He loved to sit in the sun as his black coat absorbed the warmth. His vantage point from his enclosure allowed him to see and comment on all the comings and goings in the sanctuary. Favourite Food: Lime.
