GIVING DAY FOR APES – 3 days to go!
DOGUY is our one-eyed resident to whom we have dedicated this year’s GIVING DAY FOR APES campaign. Every single donation will help our sanctuary cover the different costs of this important surgery (cataract on his remaining eye!).
From the 16th of September on till D-Day of the GIVNG DAY FOR APES event(Sept.25) , we are going to tell you DOGUY’s story and how he faced eye issues. These are the different topics we have already talked about to introduce DOGUY:
1/ How DOGUY arrived at J.A.C.K.
2/ How DOGUY adjusted to his life at J.A.C.K.
3/ Beginning of DOGUY’s disease
4/Doguy a vulnerable chimpanzee
Keep in mind that this huge fundraising event will give DOGUY the chance of not becoming blind.

D Day -3 / Eye removal
DOGUY’s right eye disease was incurable. The eye was dead and had to be removed as it could cause further damage to DOGUY’s health.
last year, in September, thanks to the great kindness of PRO WILDLIFE and to the wonderful donors of PASA, J.A.C.K. managed to collect enough funds for a European vet to come and remove DOGUY’s eye.
DOGUY’s eye surgery went well and the young chimpanzee recovered very quickly from it!
