Adopt-An-Animal Program

The San Antonio Zoo is home to more than 3,500 animals representing 600 species of invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. You can help us provide for the care and feeding of the Zoo’s living collection by sponsoring an animal for one year through our Adopt-an-Animal program.

You can adopt any animal in the Zoo. In return for your donation, we will send you or your gift recipient the sponsorship package that accompanies that particular gift level.

The Adopt-an-Animal program is perfect for many occasions: birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, businesses, school and club fundraising programs, and more.

August Adoption Special

For the month of August, we have a special adoption package for two of our water loving animals. Adopting an animal at YOUR San Antonio Zoo is fun and educational, but it also helps us care for the Zoo animals by providing funds for veterinary care, diets, and enrichment items.

Each year, the San Antonio Zoo also participates in and gives financial support to a variety of conservation efforts around the world. By taking an active role in Species Survival Plans, Taxon Advisory Groups, providing a safe haven for species faced with habitat destruction in the wild, and increasing public awareness of conservation issues, the Zoo plays an important role in the preservation of these animals and their habitats. Choose either the hippopotamus package or the Nile crocodile package for just $50 during August. Both packages include a personalized certificate of adoption, a fact sheet about the animal, an 8 X 10 color photo, $10 in Zoo Bucks that can be spent at any concession or gift stand inside the Zoo, and the name listed on our Adopt Board for one year.
