Adopt an Animal

"Adopt" an animal and Make a Difference
Is there anyone who doesn’t feel the growing need to protect endangered wildlife? Most of us would like to help, but may not know how. Now, there is a way people and groups, families, school classes, clubs and civic organizations, companies, even kids can help. Something important, worthwhile, and fun! What is "Adopt" an Animal? By symbolically "adopting" an animal at the Detroit Zoo through the "adopt" an animal program, you are helping us care for that animal. Your support lets us provide veterinary treatment, improve exhibits, and sponsor educational classes, seminars, and research expeditions. More importantly, your assistance makes the Zoo’s participation in the Species Survival Plans possible.
