Adopt An Animal Be Part of
Our Zoo Family!

You probably have a favorite animal at Dickerson Park Zoo. It may be furry and cuddly, or long and covered with scales. Whether it has a trunk, a tail or feathers, you can adopt your favorite critter through Friends of the Zoo's Adopt An Animal program. And, while you provide the love of an animal parent, your funds help provide the care the animals need. And, with more than 300 hungry mouths to feed, the zoo needs all the help it can get with its grocery bill!

Anybody can adopt – individuals, families, school or scout groups, business, clubs or sport teams. Or, give a gift adoption to a friend, child, relative or business associate. It's the perfect gift for the person who has everything. Animals may be adopted at one of three levels: $30, $50 or $100.
