Adopt Now
A gift for someone you love.
A thriving life for an animal at the zoo.

When you adopt a species through The Zoo Society, you’ll receive a soft 12″ plush inspired by a real animal who lives at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.

But this isn’t just another plushie.

Your adoption helps fund the toys, puzzles, challenges, and activities that keep animals active, curious, and thriving every day.

Think puzzle feeders that challenge a walrus. And new scents that spark a clouded leopard’s curiosity.

These experiences help animals stay mentally stimulated, physically engaged, and connected to the instincts they’d use in the wild.

So whether you’re shopping for a birthday, baby shower, classroom, graduation, or just because, you’ll be giving a gift that makes two lives a little brighter.

One plush. Two happy recipients.

  • 1. Choose your gift
