Since 1984 the Sanctuary owners, Jim and Sharon Shaw, have been offering a safe, happy home for the many monkeys who need their care.

The objective of the Sanctuary is simply to: Rescue, Re-home and Rehabilitate.

Rescue – Jim and Sharon travel the country to rescue monkeys in response to phone calls from other animal rescue organisations or individuals.

Re-home – Once a monkey has been rescued, he will be brought back to Lakeview Monkey Sanctuary to spend the rest of his life with his own kind.

Rehabilitate – Monkeys suffer trauma and distress as much as humans do. To rehabilitate these wonderful animals takes time, patience and kindness, all found at Lakeview Monkey Sanctuary.
