Mill Mountain Zoo is deeply grateful for your donation.  As a 501(c)3 organization, we depend on donor support like yours to provide high quality care to our animals while we educate the region on wildlife education and conservation.  

All the animals in our care are either critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, threatened or non-releasable due to injury, captive birth or owner relinquishment.  Our outreach and on-site programs help to educate the community the importance of animals that are endangered to our environment, promote bio-science literacy, and have exposure to animals from around the world.  Finally, our Zoo participates research and conservation programs, most notably the Red Wolf Species Survival Plan.

Thank you for supporting Mill Mountain Zoo today!
