Luna, a Nelson’s Milk Snake, had been used for educational purposes but began to show signs of aggression.

ALBION — Black Pine Animal Sanctuary is thrilled to announce the addition of three new animals to its facility. 

Pictured is one of two Vervet monkeys that have joined the sanctuary.

Momma & Caesar, Vervet monkeys, were voluntarily surrendered to Black Pine earlier this summer.  Due to a death in the family of the original owner new arrangements were necessary for the ongoing care of the pair.  After completing their quarantine, they have been moved to the Primate House where they enjoy a spacious indoor/outdoor habitat. 

Luna, a Nelson’s Milk Snake, has also taken up residence at Black Pine. Used for animal education in an elementary school environment, Luna began to show signs of aggression.  Luna can be seen in the Reptile House.  

Black Pine Animal Sanctuary exists to provide refuge to displaced, captive-raised exotic animals for the rest of their lives, and to educate people about responsible animal care and conservation. 

Black Pine is open to the public every day of the week (except Wednesdays) from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., with guided tours daily at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
