Adopt an Animal

Become the proud parent of a Houston Zoo animal today! You can adopt your animal online or at the membership window when you visit the Zoo.

By adopting an animal, you not only help in the care and feeding of that animal, but also support education and conservation programs at the Houston Zoo.

Our conservation efforts 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 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.
