Adopt-an-Animal Program

Is your favorite part of the ELC the Animals? Show your love and help support the rescued animals of the ELC by Adopting! Your monetary donation will go directly to the animals by helping to pay for food, medical care, and of course toys!

Each adoptee will receive a Certificate of Adoption and Photograph of the chosen animal with Species information and that animal's unique story. Options are available for individuals, students, schools and other organizations. At the highest adoption level, adoptees will get to go behind the scenes and spend time with their chosen animal!

Note: Participation in the Adopt-an-Animal Program does not grant any ownership rights to the adoptee. Animals may be temporarily off exhibit at any time. If the chosen animal leaves for any reason, the "adoption" will be transferred to another animal for the remainder of the adoption period.
