Primarily Primates, Incorporated is a non-profit sanctuary in Bexar County, Texas that operates to house, protect, and rehabilitate various non-native animals. The private refuge currently houses several hundred nonhuman animals, and, as the name implies, focuses primarily on caring for apes and monkeys. Many are cast-offs from the pet trade and biomedical research institutions

In the last two years, we’ve achieved a complete rebound for Primarily Primates, with an investment of $1.5 million to renovate the 30-year-old sanctuary – to install solar panels and wind energy, a new septic system, new refrigeration, climbing pathways for the animals, new living and sleeping areas, plus a full-time veterinarian, an abundance of produce each week, and full-time staff to care for 450 animals.
