Adoption Opportunities
ADR Animals Up for Adoption!
There are a number of animals in the Animal Discovery Room that have served us well for many years and are now ready to retire from the world of education. In some cases, we have more of one species than we really need. We are looking for new forever homes for these wonderful animals. There will be a small adoption fee of $15.00 to ensure that the animal goes to a family that is ready to take on the responsibility of adopting an animal. Below is a current list of adoptable animals as well as criteria for adopting these special animals.
