To help celebrate Earth Day on April 22, Defenders of Wildlife is offering a wildlife animal adoption gift through its Wildlife Adoption Center.
Adoptions can include individual endangered species and other animals such as a tiger, jaguar, panther, wolf, elephant, polar bear and dolphin. Adoptions can also include a big cats group, a marine mammal group, an arctic refuge group or a polar bear mom and cub.
Gift recipients are sent a certificate of adoption and a plush animal of the adopted species. Both are shipped free with an e-card announcement.
Vice President for Membership Steve DelVecchio said the program is a wonderful way to educate others about wildlife and save species on the brink of extinction.
Donations are tax deductible. There is a 10 percent discount on adoption orders received by April 22.
To adopt, call 800-385-9712.
