 Bear Hollow Zoo’s Adopt-an-Animal Program

Bear Hollow Zoo offers a unique program that allows individuals the opportunity to adopt and help a zoo resident of his/her choice. Donations are used for food, exhibits, and wildlife education. There is a sponsorship level that fits every budget, and it makes a great gift idea for Birthdays, Holidays and other special events.
