Animal Adoptions
Your family, friends, company or school can adopt an animal at the zoo while avoiding the demands of pet ownership - including shredded furniture and a refrigerator invasion of worms and fish. As a zoo parent, you don't have to worry about taking your African lion in for shots.
We'll take care of that.
​
Lee Richardson Zoo strives to provide the highest quality care for our animal residents.
When you symbolically adopt one of them, your gift directly supports efforts to enhance animal habitats and improve the quality of life for our animal ambassadors.
​
All adoptions are valid for one year. Please remember, like all living creatures, zoo animals may become ill, pass away, or be transferred to another zoo.
No ownership rights are conferred by this “adoption.”
