Potomac Overlook Regional Park
Adopt An Animal
Love the animals at the nature center like we do? You can sponsor them through our popular Adopt an Animal Campaign! It’s a great way for you or a loved one to feel closer to an animal of your choosing while supporting their ongoing care.
How the campaign works:
For just $50.00, you can symbolically “adopt” one of the animals at the nature center. In return, you will receive a plush of that animal, a personalized “Thank-You!” card from your adopted critter with a photo of them, and the name of the person the adoption was made for will be displayed at the nature center for 6 months as a certified sponsor! All proceeds from your sponsorship go towards food, medicine, and enclosure upkeep for our animals. A great gift for any nature lover!
How to make an adoption:
To submit an adoption request, either speak to a staff member at the front desk of our park’s nature center or email us at potomac@nvrpa.org. If submitting a request by email, please be sure to include the following information:
- Your first and last name.
- First and last name of the person the adoption is for (if for another person such as a child, friend, family member, etc.)
- Your contact information (phone number, email address, and the mailing address we will send the “Thank-You” card to).
The animals that can be sponsored often change seasonally / depending on availability, so keep an eye out for new additions! Our staff will let you know which animals are adoptable at the time of your request.
