Each adopter receives:

  • Your name on a laminated banner on your adoptee’s housing for one year.
  • A paper adoption certificate with a photograph of your animal.
  • A laminated bookmark featuring your animal.
  • A natural history of your animal.
  • A life history of your animal.
  • An 8 ½” x 11” color image of your animal.

To Adopt an Animal Ambassador, please contact Erika.
