About Adoption
- All animal adoptions are good for one year and are renewable.
- All adopted animals remain in the care and custody of the Baton Rouge Zoo.
- Because zoo animals are living creatures, they can become ill, die, be moved off exhibit or to other facilities. The Zoo retains the right to remove any animal from public display. If your adopted animal leaves the Zoo, dies or is moved off exhibit, your gift will still be used and appreciated for the remainder of your adoption year.
