Adopt an Animal

Looking for the perfect way to show your love and support for the animals?


Our “Adopt an Animal” program is perfect for you!

Why adopt?

By symbolically adopting an animal, you play a fun, yet extremely important and direct role in our animals’ lives. Your generous gift goes directly to the animals by providing the necessary care, feed, and enrichment that is required all year long.

How does it work?

Each of the animals at Wilderness Walk are up for adoption and will be recognized for one month. Every donation is greatly appreciated so in return, each adopter will receive an email with their chosen animal’s “Adopt an Animal” JPG photo, printable PDF adoption certificate, “Keeper Notes” PDF which includes the animal’s bio and fun facts, a coupon for 3 free corn cones when you come to visit, and the adopter’s name posted on our “Adopt an Animal Recognition Board” online (which will be updated monthly). To make the experience even more unique, your “Adopt an Animal” photo will be unique to just that month and will not be shared anywhere else!
