The value of GFAS accreditation is great.

First, it gives the people who are committed to helping distressed and displaced animals the comfort and confidence that they are giving their animals the best in care (facilitated by our new Donation Jar – try it today!).

Second, it gives the people running sanctuaries a clear, objective, measurable outcome by which they can assess their performance, make improvements and reach out to GFAS for help in areas they fall short.

Third, it allows sanctuaries a simple, meaningful way to communicate that they are officially recognized as committed, capable, and worthy of support. This applies to how they’re perceived by donors, law enforcement, lawmakers, and the general public.
