Adopt a Flamingo

This Valentine's let your love take flight with a truly unique and heartfelt gift.

Adopt a Flamingo! You will receive special benefits, such as:

  • 8-inch flamingo plush
  • Personalized adoption certificate
  • Glossy photo
  • Fun Facts sheet about your adopted animal
  • Wildlife Rescue static cling car decal
  • Wildlife Rescue sticker
  • The satisfaction of knowing you are helping to support the care of animals at the Texas State Aquarium
