Chase Sanctuary

Chase Sanctuary is a nonprofit wildlife sanctuary in Webster, Florida, focused primarily on endangered primates and the care of surrendered exotic animals. Its work combines rescue and rehabilitation with species preservation, including efforts to maintain diverse bloodlines in partnership with other zoological facilities. The sanctuary also provides veterinary care and permanent homes for animals that have come from the exotic pet trade or other situations where they need sanctuary.

Public visits are offered by appointment in small groups, with guided experiences built around the sanctuary's animal residents. Lemurs and other primates are central to the visitor experience, while the broader collection includes sloths, anteaters, toucans, otters, fennec foxes, and other exotic animals. Programs range from general sanctuary tours to more specialized encounters, with the format varying according to the animals involved. Educational outreach, internships, volunteer programs, and conservation partnerships extend the sanctuary's work beyond visitor experiences. Chase Sanctuary suits travelers interested in endangered primates, animal welfare, and guided encounters that connect wildlife experiences with the practical work of a working sanctuary.
