Helping Sanctuaries Help Animals
Not all animal sanctuaries are created equal; thousands of organizations worldwide which describe themselves as “sanctuaries” or “rescues” do not provide quality or humane care for their animals.
For all people invested in the welfare of captive animals, including donors, grantmakers, supporters and legislators, there is a shared desire to differentiate True Sanctuaries. Through our evaluation process, GFAS can ensure that those sanctuaries designated as GFAS Verified or Accredited uphold the highest standards for the animals in their care.
