Give a trunkful of love!
Mother's Day Adoption
Asian elephant Jet is taking small steps now, but we hope he’ll make big footprints in the conservation of his species. His mom, Jade, has been a fantastic first-time parent, keeping Jet close and always attending to his needs.
This Mother’s Day, give a loved one the gift of an Asian elephant adoption from the Zoo Parents Program. Proceeds help us provide the animals with the very best care, and mom will love knowing her gift is helping set our growing elephant family up for success, just as she did for you.
Adoption package includes:
- 12-inch Asian elephant plush toy with a 2025 commemorative tag
- Name on the Zoo Parents Recognition Wall and stlzoo.org for one year
- Personalized adoption certificate
- Greeting card from you
- Color photo with animal facts and a car decal
- Invitation to the Zoo Parents Picnic
Each adoption is lovingly and personally packed. We will mail your order in 14-21 days of receipt. Due to delays in postal processing, please allow us as much time as possible when placing your order for delivery.
Proceeds
All proceeds go directly toward the care and feeding of the animals. Learn more about the Zoo Parents Program.
