          About A.P.E.S.

    We Need Your Help!

Here at A.P.E.S, we care for eight White-Handed Gibbons. We are a non-profit organization located in Blacklick, Ohio which houses primates that were previously kept as household pets.

Please contact Pam for an appointment at ​614-657-8944.
Directions: from E. Broad St., turn north onto N. Waggoner Rd. (near Meijer).  Follow Waggoner and turn right onto Kennedy Rd. at the light by the Sunoco station. A.P.E.S. is located on the left, just before the sharp turn in the road.

Thank You to Our Donors

It has been another difficult year for everyone, with many organizations in great need.  We'd like to recognize those who donated in 2022, and feel blessed that these people could help:
  • Laura & Jan Stephenson
  • Lisa Deranek & Stephen Fannin
  • Linda Jula
  • Eric Manko
  • Barbe St. John
We would also like to recognize the ongoing support of:
  • Andrea Cooper, monthly
  • Pam Lossie, monthly
  • Tonya & Fred McNulty, monthly
  • Lana Messmore, monthly
  • Nichole Padgett Tonti, quarterly

Our Goals

  • To practice excellent husbandry, training and housing standards for our animals.
  • To educate people who think they want a primate.
  • To help educate college students majoring in zoology, anthropology and other sciences on what it means to work with exotic animals, while gaining hands-on experience.
  • To help with conservation in Asia and South America with other primate organizations, as well as sharing ideas with other zoos & sanctuaries around the U.S.
For the last three years, a grocery store has helped us by donating food to feed our primates, but they have decided not to continue their support.
Ways you can help:
  • Donate grocery store gift cards
  • Monthly donation (every little bit helps)
If anyone can help, please contact Pam at
​614-657-8944.
