Adopt an Animal!

 

Do you remember

a special encounter with a wild animal? Perhaps it was a sudden rush of wings as a bird took flight inches from where you stood. Maybe the amazing quiet as you watched, unnoticed by a fox or squirrel searching for food. In these moments, these wild encounters, we understand more than any book or National Geographic special can ever tell us.

Help feed and care for one or our education animals

Each year, 17,000 students meet and learn from our live animal teachers. By adopting an animal you are helping provide its food, housing, equipment and veterinary care. Adopt an animal as a gift, a rewarding classroom project or as a way to show your support for wildlife. Your donation is fully tax deductible.

With each adoption, you will receive . . .

  • Photo of your adopted animal(s)
  • Adoption certificate
  • Fact sheet: personal and natural histories
  • Porcupine adopters also receive a finger puppet
  • Education Animal sponsors are invited to a personal tour of our animal's homes when they visit Wolf Ridge and receive our Almanac newsletter.
