Four Corners Equine Rescue of New Mexico is Verified by Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries
Aztec, NM, September 21, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS), the only globally recognized organization providing standards for identifying legitimate animal sanctuaries, awarded Verified status to Four Corners Equine Rescue as of September 18, 2017.
Verification means that Four Corners Equine Rescue meets the criteria of a true equine sanctuary/rescue and is providing humane and responsible care of the animals. To be awarded Verified status, an organization must meet GFAS’s rigorous and peer-reviewed animal care standards which are confirmed by a site visit and they must also adhere to a demanding set of ethical and operational principles. The verification status also provides a clear and trusted means for the public, donors and grantors to recognize Four Corners Equine Rescue as an exceptional organization.
“We are proud to announce the recent verification of Four Corners Equine Rescue,” said Valerie Taylor, GFAS Director of Accreditation. “The dedication and passion of Four Corners’ founders, Directors and volunteers is comendable, and allows for great attention to be paid to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of the equines in their care. In addition, Four Corners’ efforts to collaborate with other equine rescues in New Mexico to not only provide adequate rescue in perilous situations but also champion equine welfare advocacy issues, demonstrates the organization’s commitment to equines-in-need.”
“Four Corners Equine Rescue is thrilled to receive such a prestigious honor. Becoming verified by The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries reflects the effort we put into maintaining the highest standards for horses in our care, and recognizes our commitment going the extra mile for our horses,” said Debbie Coburn, Founder of Four Corners Equine Rescue.
The GFAS Equine Accreditation Program is made possible by a generous grant from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® and the Kenneth Scott Charitable Trust.
