Our Story

Our mission here at Victorian Zoo Exotic Animal Sanctuary is to provide lifelong sanctuary to exotic animals in need while educating families and communities about responsible wildlife stewardship. Through compassionate care, ethical practices, and meaningful educational experiences, we advocate for a world where wild animals are respected and protected.

Exotic animals are often purchased without understanding their lifelong care requirements. Many need specialized diets, large habitats, enrichment activities, and experienced veterinary support.

When private ownership fails, sanctuaries step in.

Victorian Zoo Exotic Animal Sanctuary provides:

  • Spacious, species-appropriate habitats

  • Specialized nutrition plans

  • Veterinary and behavioral care

  • Enrichment that stimulates natural instincts

  • Lifelong protection and stability

Wild animals are not pets.
They deserve dignity, safety, and understanding.

100% of your donations
go directly to feeding the animals.

Your support provides fresh produce, specialized diets, veterinary care, and enrichment.

Do you have an animal you cannot take care of or can no longer house? We will happily take it! Please give us a call at 480-200-2222

Rescue & Rehabilitate

At Victorian Zoo Exotic Animal Sanctuary, rescued exotic animals find more than just shelter — they find a second chance. Our sanctuary provides lifelong care for animals who cannot return to the wild, while our dedicated rehabilitation team works tirelessly to restore health and natural behaviors in those who can. Through compassionate care, enriched habitats, and expert veterinary support, we help every animal heal, thrive, and live with dignity.
