Adopt an Animal - North Georgia Zoo & Farm Gift Shop

Adopt an Animal Program

North Georgia Zoo

The Adopt-An-Animal funds are used to provide special animal care,  enrichment, special diets, minor exhibit improvements. They also help support important education and conservation efforts at the zoo. We have many animals to choose from and adoption begins at $25.  In return for your donation,  we will send you (or your gift recipient) the adoption package that accompanies that particular gift level.
