Tomorrow, June 12, is Animal Sanctuary Caregiver Day.
It's an opportunity to honor the vital work of caregivers in animal sanctuaries. From daily cleaning to daily enrichment, caregivers are at the front lines of providing sanctuary residents a life of dignity and safety.
Co-founded by the Global Federation of Sanctuaries, by whom we are accredited, we recognize the emotional and physical challenges caregivers face while providing a safe and nurturing environment for animals who have experienced trauma.
This day:
-Celebrates the dedication and resilience of caregivers.
-Acknowledges the emotional labor involved in animal care.
-Encourages appreciation for the skills and commitment required in this field.
Here at MAARS we couldn't deliver our daily, individualized care for our flock of about 100 without them. We are deeply grateful for our exceptional volunteers! #MAARS

Cookie and Ernie, our Birds of the Month, never asked to live in captivity. Like all parrots, they were born from species meant to fly through forests, communicate within flocks, and live complex lives in the wild.
Keeping parrots wild starts with education, conservation, and ending the demand that fuels trapping and trade.
