Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary

Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary is a nonprofit animal refuge in Lilburn, Georgia, dedicated to rescuing and caring for exotic animals that need permanent homes. The sanctuary provides lifelong care for animals that have been abandoned, surrendered, or otherwise displaced, with an emphasis on responsible stewardship and public education. Its setting offers visitors a closer look at animals that cannot return to the wild or live safely in private homes.

Visitors can explore the sanctuary through guided tours that introduce resident animals and share information about their backgrounds, natural behaviors, and care requirements. The collection includes a variety of exotic species, with a focus on helping guests understand the needs and challenges of animals kept in human care. Educational programs and outreach activities extend the sanctuary's mission beyond regular visits. Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary suits travelers interested in animal rescue and conservation education, particularly those seeking a smaller-scale sanctuary experience centered on individual animals rather than a traditional zoo collection.
