Animal Adoptions

Naked Mole Rat Productions is involved with the symbolic adoption of many animals in various
zoological parks around the world. As a member of these different zoos, Phil adopts
endangered animals and provides financial support to help care for and maintain these
unique species. If you wish to join us in any of these endevours, let us know the animal
you're interested in adopting and we can let you know what it will cost for a one year
sponsorship program. All adoptions will come with an acknowledgement certificate, and
we can even provide actual photos and personal stories about raising and caring for
many of these animals ranging from porcupines, to tigers, snakes to baboons and
many more. We can set up a fund to help you reach your target amount. We're also
set up to help you with fund raising efforts so you can pick a larger adoption proceed
for those animals that zoos care for and display for us to enjoy year round.

Contact us at zootours@hotmail.com and we can get started with your support
efforts to help maintain and improve the lives of those things we care
so much about; the animals and our natural world.

Congratulations to Kiara, her friends and classmates for their adoption of an olive baboon!
With Kiara's help Phil adopted an olive baboon from the Toronto Zoo, and will
be receiving News from the Underground every month. The class also received one
of Malik's Masterpieces and Awareness Bracelets for everyone.
We can customize your animal adoptions to suit individuals, classrooms, or corporate sponsorship.
