Adopting an animal is a great way to contribute directly to the care, wellbeing and enrichment of wildlife, both inside and outside our three zoos: Melbourne Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary and Werribee Open Range Zoo.

By donating funds in the form of an animal adoption, you will help provide for our zoo animals and support our important conservation programs. All financial support, large and small, is precious to us. Your donation is tax deductible.

Your 12-month personalised adoption package includes:

• Personalised adoption certificate
• Glossy photo of your animal
• Fact sheet about your animal
• Regular issues of our Zoos Victoria Foundation newsletter
• Birthday card from your animal
