Give the Gift of Helping a Life
Through Adopt-an-Animal, you or someone on your behalf, may purchase a one-time gift to support one of our animals. When you designate your adopted animal, your funds will go directly to the care of that animal, or specific projects that we are currently working on for that particular animal. This program is an excellent opportunity to give to local wildlife education efforts, the care of an animal in need, and to encourage or place in honor of loved ones and environmental enthusiasts in our community. Each adoption is a $30 minimum gift (but can be your chosen total allotment).
Bear Creek Nature Center is home to various native and exotic wildlife. Some of our animal ambassadors are former pets that are retired, and some are wildlife that are unable to return to the wild. Many of our animal residents are rescued or rehabilitated. Each of our animal ambassadors is in need of individual attention and care that we can only provide through supporters and volunteers. Our Adopt-an-Animal program is one way that anyone can contribute to enriching the lives of our resident animal ambassadors.
If you wish to make recurring donations, consider becoming a donor instead.
