Southwick's Zoo and EARTH Ltd. introduce the new "Adopt an Animal Program"

The Adopt an Animal Program is a satisfying and creative way of contributing to a long-lasting investment in conservation, education, and animal welfare. Southwick's Zoo offers approximately 30 animals for adoption with adoption donations ranging from $50.00 - $200.00. The animals that are adopted from the Adopt an Animal Program remain at the zoo in the care of professional staff, no ownership rights are conferred. Anyone can adopt for a period of one year, including, individuals, schools, classrooms, scouts, families, businesses, and organizations!

When you adopt an animal, your contribution goes directly toward your adopted animal's care, enrichment, breeding program, and other necessities your animal may need. A portion of your contribution will go in a building fund for a much needed new EARTH Discovery Center. EARTH whose mission is to provide environmental and conservation education with emphasis on animal ecology, endangered species and threatened habitats.

There are many kinds of animals to choose from including birds, reptiles, monkeys, big cats, dromedaries, and much more! When you adopt an animal, you become part of a group of wonderful people who provide special support to Southwick's Zoo and Earth ltd. More than one parent may adopt animals. Adoptions are for the species of animals, not an individual animal.

Those who choose to take part in the Adopt An Animal program become a ZOO PARENT. This means that you have generously contributed to Southwick's Zoo and EARTH Ltd. and will receive lots of benefits from EARTH Ltd. and Southwick's Zoo! Benefits include an Adoption Certificate, EARTH Newsletter, Special Event Invitations, Zoo Passes, and more! The biggest benefit of all is the satisfaction of knowing that your contribution is directly helping Southwick's Zoo provide the best possible care for your adopted animal!
