URGENT! ORANGE COUNTY’S ONLY NO KILL ANIMAL SANCTUARY IS BEING EVICTED! HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS NEED YOUR HELP NOW.
The Emerald Sanctuary has been a beacon of Hope for abandoned and forfeited exotic and former pet animals for 50 years in Laguna Beach. The only facility of its kind in Orange County, the humane sanctuary offers safe and nurturing forever homes to a wide variety of animals that include; alpacas, emus, swans, small and giant tortoises as well as smaller former pets such as birds, bunnies, waterfowl,
guinea pigs and pocket pets.
In recent years, the sanctuary joined award winning noted wildlife charity, Pacific Wildlife Project. Together, they formed the region’s first all-inclusive wildlife and exotic care program that is staffed solely by volunteers and supported through public donations.
Nestled on a south county hillside on Orange County parkland, the organization has worked hand in hand with State, County and local agencies and the general public in offering safe placement for exotic animals meeting the needs of agencies and the demands of the public for humane animal treatment and care.
Recently following the Laguna Beach hillside fire dubbed the “Emerald Fire”, sanctuary founder Kris Spitaleri was credited with saving the community from further damage with his effective, natural fire break planting at the sanctuary’s edge.
Sadly, that was followed by a County review of the grandfathered land use and the sanctuary was ordered to close and vacate the animals from the
property. With no alternative location to safely house the resident animals and no other placement options, the animals now face imminent seizure by the County Animal Authorities and euthanasia death.
