The Zoo Society, located at 5400 North Pearl Street in Tacoma, Washington, is dedicated to generating community support and fundraising for animal care, education, and conservation at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. Donations of any amount make a difference in the lives of the animals at the zoo, from purchasing enrichment toys for polar bears and goats to supporting species survival plans and conservation initiatives.

By contributing financially, volunteering your time, or using your influence, you become a vital part of the movement that keeps the zoo thriving. The Zoo Society also offers opportunities to leave a lasting mark at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium through custom engraved bricks, which will be installed on the main pathway leading to the Pacific Seas Aquarium.

In addition, the Zoo Society supports programs that connect the community with nature and animals, such as the Adopt a Species program, which helps purchase enrichment items for the animals at the zoo. Every adoption includes a personalized certificate, fact sheet, photo, and plush of the chosen animal.

Visitors to the zoo can also admire the bronze sea turtle sculpture, "Sally," donated to The Zoo Society and displayed proudly at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. The sculpture serves as a reminder of the importance of sea turtle conservation and clean oceans.

Whether it's supporting animal enrichment, veterinary dentistry, or honoring the memory of beloved animals like Herald, The Zoo Society plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being and conservation of the animals at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.
