About this shelter

Lily Sanctuary, The in Fountain Valley, CA

The Lily Sanctuary is an animal shelter located in Fountain Valley, California, in Orange County, about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles, and shares the county with 37 other animal shelters and rescues. The sanctuary specializes in exotic birds, particularly parrots, which became more widely available for impulse purchase after the 1993 U.S. ban on importing exotic birds led to a rise in domestic breeding. It carefully matches each parrot with an adopting family through thorough interviews, home visits, and basic parrot care education to ensure successful placements. The Lily Sanctuary also promotes an educational program encouraging people to adopt a parrot in need of a new home rather than purchasing one from a pet shop, given that parrots can live nearly as long as humans and require a serious long-term commitment.
