TAOS - The Association of Sanctuaries - We accredit superior animal sanctuaries for wild animals, farmed animals, and companion animals and assist animal sanctuaries in providing quality rescue and care for displaced animals who live in an animal sanctuary.

No Wild Pets!

What You Can Do

Support the Animals Themselves

•	Do not keep, buy, or breed wild animals.
•	Instead of buying any animal, adopt a companion animal from your local shelter. Millions of healthy companion animals are euthanized every year for lack of a home.
•	Volunteer at an accredited sanctuary, a local nature center, or a wildlife refuge. For volunteer opportunities visit the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service web site.
•	Donate needed items and/or funds for the care of wild animals at an accredited sanctuary.
