Adopt an Animal
You provide the love . . . we’ll provide the expert care.
Do you, or does someone you know, have a favorite animal here at the Nature Center? Become a "Wild Parent" or give an Adopt-an-Animal package as a gift! There’s no more rewarding gift than an animal adoption. You gain a special friend (we have more than 25 animals for you to choose from) while lending support to the Nature Center. Best of all, your adopted animal will remain at the center where it will receive the expert care it needs.
By supporting the Friends of the WNC Nature Center, this program raises funds for habitat improvement, environmental enrichment and education. Animal adoptions have helped provide major renovations to the cougar, bobcat and gray wolf habitats.
The Red Wolf pups have been a popular choice for many of our Wild Parents in 2012. Because the pups are growing so fast, we have put together a short video of their lives so that you, too, can enjoy watching them mature into young Red Wolves.
Adoptions make excellent gifts and are good for one full year.
Note: For International Adoptions, there will be an extra postage charge.
