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.

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:
Do you have an idea for a fundraiser? Is your school, organization or family interested in hosting or partnering with us for a fundraiser? If you would like to help, contact Pam at 614-657-8944.
The A.P.E.S. organization is committed to be protectors, conservationists, caregivers and educators for all primates, especially the Capuchin and the endangered White-Handed Gibbon.
