GFAS and NAPSA (North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance) are partnering again to celebrate our fourth annual Animal Sanctuary Caregiver Day on Friday, June 12th! GFAS and NAPSA established this event in 2017 to recognize and highlight the important work of animal caregivers – the caring and compassionate heroes – of animal sanctuaries, rescue centers, and wildlife rehabilitation centers worldwide.
Throughout this week, we’ll be posting announcements on Instagram and Facebook and sharing suggestions to honor animal caregivers. Click here for a link to our list of 25 ways to celebrate.
