Transport & Sanctuary Access

Safety. Security. Serenity.

✈️ Advanced Cargo Transit

For families living outside of driving distance, we coordinate specialized air travel. We do not use standard "pet shipping" services. Instead, we book through **Live Animal Certified** cargo departments that provide pressurized, temperature-controlled environments identical to the passenger cabin.

Custom Travel Crates Our crates are reinforced, double-walled, and custom-fitted with fine mesh to prevent any limb protrusion while allowing 360-degree airflow.
Hydration & Nutrition Crates feature spill-proof "Lixit" water systems and a 24-hour supply of high-moisture fruits (grapes/melons) to ensure hydration during transit.
The Comfort Layer We include a "Scent-Bound" blanket from our nursery and a plush companion toy to reduce stress during the flight.
Ground Handling Your monkey is the *last* to be loaded and the *first* to be offloaded by specialized handlers, minimizing time spent on the tarmac.

🏠 On-Site Pickup & Visitation

We welcome families to Tiny Tails Sanctuary to collect their new companions. However, to protect the health of our colony and your future pet, we enforce a Strict Bio-Security Protocol. No exceptions.

  • Required
    Scheduled Appointments Only We do not allow walk-ins. Pickups must be scheduled 14 days in advance to allow for final veterinary health clearance and paperwork preparation.
  • Required
    Health Screening Visitors must not have had any respiratory illnesses (coughs, colds, flu) or fever within 7 days of their visit. Primates are highly susceptible to human viruses.
  • Required
    Sanitization Station Upon arrival, all guests must utilize our shoe-sanitization baths and medical-grade hand sanitizer. In certain nursery areas, face masks and gloves may be required.
  • Strict
    Limited Party Size To maintain a calm environment for the animals, we limit visitation to two (2) adults. Small children and outside pets are strictly prohibited from entering the sanctuary grounds.

🤝 The Handover Experience

Whether picking up in person or meeting at the airport, the "Handover" is a structured 30-minute process:

  1. Document Review: We walk you through the USDA Health Certificate, Vaccination Records, and the 5-Year Guarantee.
  2. Observation Period: We observe the monkey's behavior and energy levels to ensure they have transitioned the journey (or the excitement of pickup) perfectly.
  3. Physical Check: A final head-to-tail visual inspection is performed in your presence.
  4. First Feeding: We provide the first meal in your care to demonstrate proper feeding techniques and hydration checks.

Your primate's safety is our only priority.

By adhering to these strict guidelines, Tiny Tails Sanctuary continues to produce the healthiest, most well-adjusted monkeys in the world.
