Here at the Wildlife Associates’ Wildlife Sanctuary, we care for over 50 kinds of amazing wild animals. Many of them visit thousands of children throughout Northern California every year through our Wildlife Assembly Programs. All of these animals are non-releasable, which means they cannot survive without our help and care.

 |
 |
|
The Adopt-an-Animal program is a great way to help support the lives of these Wild Teachers, and makes a unique gift for family and friends.
|
As a thank-you gift, you will receive a special certificate featuring the animal you have chosen to help, as well as other awesome gifts (see below).
Your family’s contribution is tax-deductible. Although all the animals stay here at the Wildlife Sanctuary, adopting can provide your family with the satisfaction of lending a helping hand to wildlife and educating children in kindness and empathy toward all of life.
