Adopt-an-Animal
Knoxville Zoo's Adopt-an-Animal program provides funding that goes towards the care for more than 800 wild animals that call the zoo their home. Any animal currently at Knoxville Zoo can be adopted. By becoming an Adopt-an-Animal parent, you can help to provide a year of feed and care for your favorite Knoxville Zoo animal. Animal adoptions help to ensure that the animals at Knoxville Zoo are receiving the nutritious diet that they require, the best cutting-edge health care possible and a safe and happy environment in which to live. Through Knoxville Zoo's Adopt-an-Animal program, you can support Knoxville Zoo one animal at a time.

Adopt-an-Animal as a Gift!
Adopt-an-Animal adoption is the gift that gives for a whole year! Your friends and family members would love to have a Knoxville Zoo animal adopted and cared for in their names. You can purchase an adoption to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, holidays or for any reason at all!
