Learn all about the benefits of Zoo animal adoption.

In addition to making a big difference in the lives of our Zoo animals, as an adoptive parent, your name will be displayed on an Adopt-an-Animal parent board for one year. These boards can be found in these locations:

• Giraffe Building
• Monkey Pavilion
• Elephant Building
• Aquatics
• Primate World
• Bird & Reptile House

To find out where your name is posted please contact Valerie at 719.633.9925, ext. 115, or e-mail  vmaltese@cmzoo.org.

Note: The parent boards are updated quarterly, so the dates that the name appears on the board may not coincide with the actual dates of the adoption.
