ROYAL OAK, Mich. - January 24, 2008

Roses are red, violets are blue;
For Valentine’s Day, “adopt” from the Zoo. 
A ferocious lion or hairy gorilla,
A gift for your love that is sure to thrill ‘er.

Adoption papers personalized for you,
A cuddly plush of the animal, too,
A photo, fact sheet, and chocolates in a box. 
For just forty dollars, this gift really rocks!

“Adopting” an animal from the Detroit Zoo
Helps to support all the animals, too. 
For veterinary care and habitat renovation,
Adopt-an-Animal makes a great Zoo donation.

To complete an adoption, hurry, don’t wait. 
Visit Membership Services at the front gate
Monday through Friday from eight until four,
Or click on www.detroitzoo.org. 

(If you wish to call and be a real hero,
Dial (248) 541-5717, extension three seven five zero.)
