Adoptions

Girl petting a sealSpecial Red Panda AdoptionAn 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 sixteen pounds of fish needed daily to feed the harbor seal, 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.
