Mickey the Fox Snake and his adopter Campbell Murra by Ronnie Miller.
The program consists of a person/family/group/classroom that will pay the annual fee of the animal and in return we send out a fun animal adoption certificate that includes interesting facts and a 5”X 7” photo of their animal. In researching three existing programs, we found that families that adopt the animals tend to keep readopting the same animal for years, have a closer one on one relationship with that animal and since the adoption year runs with the calendar year, the adoptions work wonderfully as a Christmas gift. So, right now we are adopting out the animals for the 2010 year.
