Animal Sponsorships are a great way to celebrate the nature-loving friends and family in your life! Your contribution is used to help fund the care of all the amazing animals at the Erie Zoo.

We have many animals to choose from and different package levels depending on your budget. Each sponsorship is valid for one full year.

Please note that each year we have a featured "Animal of the Year" theme along with items about your sponsored animal. Also, if you choose an option with a listing on the animal plaque, please not that we update those yearly prior to the opening of the season to ensure that your sponsorship dollars are going to animal care rather than materials! If you have any questions please contact the Erie Zoo Office at (814) 864-4091. 

**Please Note 2024's featured animal for the decal, stuffed animal and art piece is the African Wild Dog. *Packages may be delayed for the holidays.

We will be updating the new featured animal for 2025 very soon!

**Animal Sponsor Plaques are updated once a year before the opening of the season in February. Your name will be displayed for a full year.
