I'm Ready To Adopt!

For as little as $25 you can ‘adopt’ (symbolically, of course!) one of our four-legged friends. Your dollars will help care for the animals – from maintaining their homes to providing them with a nutritious and delicious diet.

Adoptions are a great way to learn (or educate kids of all ages!) about some of the amazing and imperiled animals that live right here in Plymouth, MA. When you adopt a Devon cow, Arapawa goat or other animal, your tax-deductible contribution will help support our work at the museum. And, although all of our animals may have many adoptive parents and must remain in their homes at the museum, as ‘family’ you’ll always have a special place in our hearts.

To adopt a Devon Cattle, Wiltshire Sheep, Arapawa Goat please send an email development@plimoth.org or call Kim Corben (508) 746-1622, x8226.

And, yes, all orders processed by 12/19 will be shipped in time for the holidays!
