Meet/Adopt the Animals
PAWS three sanctuaries are home to more than 100 abused, abandoned or retired captive wildlife.
At PAWS sanctuaries rescued animals live in peaceful, natural habitats — free from fear, chains, and harsh confinement. They are at complete liberty to act out natural behaviors in the comfort of their individually designed enclosures. PAWS animals are not bred, traded, sold, rented or forced to perform in any way.
If you would like to help one of our animals, consider becoming an “adoptive parent,” or giving a PAWS adoption as a gift to an animal lover in your life. PAWS adoptions are symbolic adoptions only. No animal will be sent!
“Meet the Animals” in our care:
Adopt* A PAWS "Wild Child"
For Yourself Or To Give As A Gift
Adopting a PAWS animal helps us provide nutritious food, veterinarian care and an enriching habitat for your animal — and you’ll have the satisfaction that comes from knowing you’re making a difference in the life of a PAWS animal.
Adoptive parents receive:
- Biography of their adopted animal
- Certificate of adoption and a color photograph
- A guest pass to one regular PAWS ARK 2000 open house (special events are not included)
- Periodic updates about the adopted animal
- Periodic mailings and invitations to special events
- PAWS online E-NEWS (Adoptive parent’s email address must be provided. Recipient may opt out at any time and no email address will ever be sold or given away.)
- Opportunities to take direct action to help captive wildlife
