Potomac Overlook Regional Park

How the campaign works:

For just $50.00, you can symbolically “adopt” one of the animals at the nature center.  In return, you will receive a plush of that animal, a personalized “Thank-You!” card from your adopted critter with a photo of them, and the name of the person the adoption was made for will be displayed at the nature center for 6 months as a certified sponsor!  All proceeds from your sponsorship go towards food, medicine, and enclosure upkeep for our animals.  A great gift for any nature lover!

Holiday Promotion:

Turn your adoption into the perfect present for the holidays! From December 1st to 31st, your adoption will include a festive hat, scarf, and holiday-themed bag for your plush animal, with an additional option to have the materials shipped to an address of your choosing for an extra $10.00. All items listed for a standard adoption still included. Please note: if choosing to have your materials shipped, we recommend placing your adoption no later than December 13th to allow for delivery before the holidays. 

How to make an adoption:

To submit an adoption request, either speak to a staff member at the front desk of our park’s nature center or email us at potomac@nvrpa.org. If submitting a request by email, please be sure to include the following information:

• Your first and last name.
• First and last name of the person the adoption is for (if for another person such as a child, friend, family member, etc.)
• Your contact information (phone number, email address, and the mailing address we will send the “Thank-You” card to).

The animals that can be sponsored often change seasonally / depending on availability, so keep an eye out for new additions!  Our staff will let you know which animals are adoptable at the time of your request.
