Adopt-An-Animal

Why adopt an animal?

When an individual or organization adopts an animal they are making a statement for all to see that they support the wildlife, education, conservation, and have a stake in the mission of the Sanctuary. They contribute to the welfare of the animals in the Sanctuary and support the conservation efforts undertaken on behalf of those animals. Depending on the 'support level' they could become "hands on" involved with the animal and it's care.

We encourage Foster parents to spend time with their adoped family whenever possible.

How long is the adoption for?

Adoptions last a full year from the day your adoption is confirmed by the Sanctuary.

Can I give an animal sponsorship adoption as a gift?

Yes, an animal adoption would make a great gift for that 'hard to buy for' person that seems to have everything he/she needs. To give a gift, simply fill out the gift portion of your adoption paperwork.

What animals can I adopt?

All animals in the Sanctuary are up for adoption.

Does adoption of an animal confer any ownership?

Sorry, there are no ownership rights implied by this adoption, in fact we officially discourage ownership of exotic animals.
