Adopt an Animal

Adopt an Animal with us and help fight for the freedom of all animals used in entertainment

ADOPT AN ANIMAL PACKS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE UK

Looking for a great gift idea or just want to treat yourself? Then adopt an animal with us and help to raise funds at the same time.

By adopting an animal you will not only be helping the species you have chosen to learn more about, but all animals we campaign tirelessly for. Adoptions help pay for campaign materials that we send out to local groups who are carrying out protests, for investigations, and for any equipment we may need. They also help to fund political lobbying, locally and nationally. 

Your adoption fuels the fight for an end to animal captivity and freedom for all animals.

In your pack you will receive:

  • Welcome letter
  • Certificate of adoption
  • Cuddly toy made from recycled plastic bottles! (optional)
  • Information fact sheet on your chosen species
  • Release newsletter
  • Captive Animals stickers
  • Relevant campaigns material 
  • And all wrapped up in a box (so it's easy to give as a gift)

Adoptions cost from just £30 and run for a whole year. Over that time our adopters receive our twice yearly newsletter, Release, and regular updates about our campaigns, with hints and tips on more ways you can help animals.

When you Adopt an Animal, you help raise vital funds for us to keep campaigning for a brighter future for all animals in captivity, and their chance of freedom.  

Click on the species below to learn more, and about how you can help by adopting an animal with us today.

Kate the elephant, Lulu the turtle, Simon the owl, Noco the sloth, Brenda the octopus, George the chameleon, Stella the penguin and Tink the red panda are the individuals who represent the animals held captive to be used in many different ways to ‘entertain’ humans. From zoos to aquariums to mobile displays. All animals in captivity long to be wild and free, not ‘kept’ to please humans. 

Adoption pack delivery details:

Delivery of your Adopt an Animal packs is free. Adopt an Animal packs are only available in the UK.

We aim to get orders sent out for delivery within 3 working days. The toy may vary from the one shown above.
