Adoptions

An adoption is a fun way to create a special bond at the Zoo, while also helping us care for our animals. For just a few dollars, you can help support the purchase of food for the squirrel monkeys, or help keep the Shetland pony trough stocked with hay. Whatever animal you choose, you'll know that all your money goes to support your new family member here at the Zoo.

Animal adoptions make great gifts for family and friends! By participating in this important program, you share your love for animals by helping them receive the best care possible.

Select your perfect experience from the list below, then make your purchase online. Your adoption dollars are a tax deductible contribution.

Choose your level of support:

The adoption packet you order contains personaized and themed items tailored specially to the recipient and to the animal chosen. For this reason, please allow a minimum of three business days for you materials to be processed.

*Humboldt penguins not available for premuim adoptions in 2010. Learn more about the special 2010 penguin adoptions and additional ways to support the penguins.

Group Adoptions

Group Adoptions are a wonderful opportunity for a school, troop, or youth group to inspire children to learn the importance of wildlife conservation and teamwork. Choose a favorite animal and then develop a creative way to raise money for your adoption. For more information about personalizing your experience, contact our development staff at 402.475.6741, ext. 131 or download our adoption form.
