Become the proud parent of one of 20 Houston Zoo animals participating in the Adopt an Animal program.

By adopting an animal through this program, you not only help in the care and feeding of that animal, but also support important education and conservation programs at the Houston Zoo. Some of the world wide conservation projects the Houston Zoo collaborates on include saving amphibians in Panama, supporting field research on tapirs in Brazil, and working with local staff of the Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary in Borneo on five vulnerable or endangered felines. With your help, the Houston Zoo can continue to aid wild creatures and their habitats all over the world.

Choose from one of four levels of support and any of the 20 wonderful animals available for adoption. Get the inside scoop on your animal's life story, favorite treats, and more! Your adoption will last one year and includes a photo of the animal and a certificate of your adoption.

When you sign up for the Guardian of the Animals level, you will also receive your name on a brick paver at the Zoo’s front entrance. Don’t miss out on this special opportunity – support your favorite Zoo animal today! When you adopt an animal, your adoption kit contains the following:

*There will be an additional charge for shipping and handling on all orders.
