On May 3, 2019, The Wild Animal Sanctuary announced that it has been named a “2019 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews of charities and nonprofits.
The Wild Animal Sanctuary provides life-long homes to nearly 500 rescued, captive-born large carnivores who previously lived lives of abuse and neglect in often-illegal situations. At The Wild Animal Sanctuary rescued animals experience lives free of human exploitation while living in large-acreage habitats, receiving world-class care and the chance to finally live with others of their own species.
Says Pat Craig, the executive director of The Wild Animal Sanctuary:
“We are honored to be named a 2019 Top-Rated Nonprofit. We are proud of our accomplishments, and are looking forward to continuing our vital work at the Sanctuary while also beginning to make full use of our new Refuge and its almost-10,000 acres.”
The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the rating and number of reviews that The Wild Animal Sanctuary received from volunteers and donors.
Said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits:
“The Wild Animal Sanctuary is a great example of a nonprofit making a real difference in their community. Their award is well-deserved recognition not only of their work, but the tremendous support they receive, as shown by the many outstanding reviews they have received from people who have direct experience working with the organization.”
