ASPCA - American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
GER is proud to have been approved as a Response Partner for the ASPCA!
The FIR (Field Investigations & Response) Response Partner Program allows the ASPCA to join forces with local and national shelters, rescue groups, disaster response teams and animal control agencies to help animals in dire situations. Partners also provide rescued animals a chance for a new life by accepting them into their adoption programs. FIR's response partners have placed thousands of animals from disaster and cruelty cases into loving homes and that number continues to grow.

GER was recently recognized for our transparency with a Gold Seal on our GuideStar Nonprofit Profile! GuideStar is the world’s largest source of information on nonprofit organizations.

In order to get the Gold Seal, GER shared important information with the public using our profile on www.guidestar.org.

We’re shining a spotlight on the difference we help make in the world.
