About Us
ABOUT SWING ALONG MONKEY RESCUE (SAMR)
Providing Sanctuary, Healing, and a lifetime of love for Primates in Need
At Swing Along Monkey Rescue (SAMR), we are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and taking surrendered primates that have been abandoned, abused, or surrendered by owners who can no longer care for them. With over 30 years of experience, our team specializes in providing personalized care tailored to the unique needs of each primate, ensuring they receive compassion, enrichment, and the second chance they deserve.
Our mission goes beyond rescue; we are committed to educating the public about responsible primate ownership and advocating for animal welfare legislation. We believe that every primate deserves a second chance at a joyful life, and we work tirelessly to provide a safe and nurturing environment for those in our care.
Join us in making a difference! Your support through donations or volunteering helps us continue our vital work in providing lifelong sanctuary and rehabilitation for primates in need. Together, we can ensure that no primate is left behind.
Silent Suffering, Loud Impact: Your Support Writes Their Next Chapter
Behind every pair of watchful eyes lies an unspoken history – primates arrive at our sanctuary bearing invisible scars of neglect, abandonment, or exploitation, their trauma evident in fearful flinches and repetitive behaviors developed in captivity. Your compassion bridges the gap between their painful past and hopeful future, funding specialized rehabilitation that helps them rediscover trust, natural behaviors, and the peace they deserve through our evidence-based trauma recovery programs.

Why Choose Swing A Long Monkey Rescue?
At Swing A Long Monkey Rescue, we do more than provide shelter — we offer healing, hope, and lifelong care. Here’s why people choose to support, volunteer with, and sponsor through our sanctuary:
Compassion Comes First
We treat every primate like family. Whether orphaned, abandoned, or rescued from neglect, each one receives personalized care, emotional support, and a chance to thrive in a loving environment.
Over 30 Years of Experience
With decades of expertise in primate behavior, nutrition, and rehabilitation, our team is uniquely equipped to care for complex physical and emotional needs — and we continue to grow through education and training.

Unlike temporary shelters or rehoming programs, we provide lifelong care for every primate we rescue. They are never sold, bred, or exploited — only loved, enriched, and protected.
100% Nonprofit and Transparent
Your support goes directly to food, medicine, housing, and enrichment for the animals — not overhead or advertising. We are proud to be donor-driven and mission-led.

We advocate for primate welfare and public education to stop the cycle of exotic pet trade and abuse. When you partner with us, you're joining a movement that values integrity and real change.
Community-Focused
We work with families, educators, and other rescue organizations to share knowledge and provide outreach that helps primates live better lives both inside and outside our sanctuary.
