Adoptions

An adoption is a fun way to create a special bond at the Zoo, while also helping us care for our animals. When you adopt an animal, your donation goes toward the animal's care and daily feeding. For just a few dollars, you can buy a harbor seal sixteen pounds of fish a day, or keep the Shetland ponies happy by keeping their trough well stocked with hay. Whatever animal you choose, you'll know that all your money goes to support your new family member and the entire Zoo.

Select your favorite animal from the list below, donate online or send in your tax-deductible donation to us. We'll send you an "adoption package," consisting of a personalized adoption certificate, a photo of your animal, and a wallet-sized Proof-of-Adoption card that designates you as the proud adoptive parent of an exotic Zoo animal. Your adoption package is completed by an invitation to visit your animal and have a private tour with your animal's zookeeper.

Don't forget, animal adoptions make great gifts for family and friends! By participating in this important program, you share your love for animals by helping ours receive the best care possible.
