Adopt An Animal
Become a ZooParent through our Adopt An Animal program, PLUS the first 40 Silver, Gold, or Platinum packages sold will also receive a free print replica made by our animals - a "kiss" from giraffes Mokolo, Gerald and Dhoruba, or a jaguar paw print painting by Inka the jaguar. These replica prints are made from high resolution scans of the original canvas pieces. They measure 8x10" and are printed on heavy card stock. Perfect for framing!
Calling all members of the broken hearts club and those that think love is just a four-letter word! Our Love Stinks fundraiser invites you to name a live cockroach after your toxic ex-partner or former fling. You'll then enjoy sweet revenge as that lowly bug becomes a sweet treat for our skunk, Pesto! We'll even send you a video of Pesto savoring your wretched roach - munch, munch, munch!
