Adopt An Animal

Have you ever wanted to be the proud adoptive parent to a spotted leopard, red kangaroo or other exotic species? This is your opportunity to do something wonderful for something wild at the Zoo in Forest Park and Education Center. Our Adopt an Animal Program is the perfect way to teach children and adults about conservation and to increase their awareness of exotic and indigenous species.

Adoptive Parents

The Zoo offers the opportunity to become even closer to the animals and assist in supporting the cost of their food and care. Any individual or group can adopt an animal; singles, couples, families, school classes, office staff, clubs, businesses, sports teams, colleges, and community organizations. Most animals are adopted by more than one person or group.

Anyone can adopt an animal!

The Zoo in Forest Park, a private non-profit organization, houses and cares for over 200 animals and birds. These wonderful creatures depend entirely on us, and you!
