The American Sanctuary Association (ASA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1998 to set standards for animal care and housing. The goal of ASA is to link together sanctuary directors and founders in order to share experiences and to enable unwanted and wild unreleasable animals to find safe haven. The ASA is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. ASA was founded in 1998 in large part to fill the role for animal sanctuaries that the Association of Zoos and Aquariums fills for zoos, and in disagreement with the prevailing accreditation standards. Actress and animal activist Tippi Hedren, founder of the Shambala Preserve, was elected as the first President, and still serves in that role. Vernon Weir was ASA's first Executive Director and served in that role for 22 years. ASA has not announced who will be taking over his duties following his death in December of 2021.
