Their Story
Chase Sanctuary has joined forces with The Dania Beach Vervet Project to provide medical care, enrichment, nutrition and housing for the local free ranging vervet monkeys in Dania Beach, Florida.
The Dania Beach monkeys escaped from the Dania Chimp Farm in the late 1940’s. The Dania Chimp Farm was originally called the Anthropoid Ape Research Foundation (ARFF). ARFF was opened in the early 1940’s by Leila Roosevelt and Armand Dennis in Dania Beach, Florida. ARFF was both a research facility and zoo. Primates were imported from Africa for biomedical and entertainment purposes. The Ash family bought the property in 1951 and renamed it the Dania Chimpanzee Farm. The Dania Chimp Farm closed in 1957 when Florida Power and Light bought the land.
As development in the area continues and human encroachment increases, these animals have little room to thrive. Injuries are common. Without our help, once injured these monkeys are left to suffer. They are not afforded protection or help anywhere else. Injured or captured animals can not be returned to the wild.
As their story continues to gain national attention through a variety of news sources, we are working together to raise the funds needed to build habitats for these gentle souls. Plans are being developed for a new "MEGA HABITAT" at Chase Sanctuary with cabanas (tree houses) for climbing, tunnels and enrichment opportunities. Your sponsorship will give these animals a safe and comfortable, forever home.
