2. ADOPT- AN- ANIMAL PROGRAM:

An individual, family, organization or group can adopt any animal at the El Paso Zoo for as little as $20 per year. Of course, if more is given the El Paso Zoological Society greatly appreciates it. With each animal adoption an official adoption certificate and bumper sticker is given. The adopter will have his/her or group name on the Animal Adoption sign on the zoo grounds for one full year.

El Paso Zoo adoptions not only benefit the animals, but also help the zoo grow and develop as one of the finest education resources and tourist attractions in El Paso.
