ADOPT-AN-ANIMAL PROGRAM
What Is Adopt An Animal?
By adopting an animal at the Memphis Zoo, you help pay for the care and feeding of that animal for a year. With more than 4,000 hungry mouths to feed, the Zoo needs all the help it can get!

Who Can Adopt & How?
Anybody can adopt ... individuals, families, schools, scout groups, businesses, clubs or sports teams. And, adoptions make great gifts. It's easy! Simply select the animal you wish to adopt, complete the PDF form below and mail it with your adoption fee, or fax to (901) 333-6502.
Things to Know
All adoptions are valid for one full year. Animals are living creatures. Unfortunately, they may become ill or die, or they may be transferred to another zoo. If your adopted animal leaves our Zoo, your adoption will be transferred to another animal. All adopted animals remain in the care of the Memphis Zoo and no ownership rights are conferred by this "adoption."
