ADOPT an Animal
Animal adoptions make great gifts for family and friends! The ADOPT (Animals Depend On People, Too) program offers animal lovers the opportunity to take a lead role in the Los Angeles Zoo’s wildlife conservation efforts and create a special bond with the animals. All animals at the Zoo are available to ADOPT. Funds from the ADOPT program benefit the welfare of the animals that call the Los Angeles Zoo home, ensuring that they are enriched and thrive here.
Species may have more than one sponsor. All animals remain in the care of the Los Angeles Zoo and no ownership rights are conferred. Please note that packages cannot be shipped outside the United States. Please allow up to two weeks for processing and shipping.
Holiday ADOPT
Symbolically adopt any animal at the Zoo! All ADOPT packages include a personalized adoption certificate and a beautiful photo factsheet of your chosen animal. ADOPTions at $100 or higher also include a mini rhino plush in honor of our rhino, Marshall! Proceeds directly fund projects around the world through our Annual Zoo Conservation Grants Program. Please purchase by December 14. We will make every effort to process and ship orders received by this date, so they arrive before December 25.
