The wild dog adoption programme is one way for us to gain the support and much needed funding to sustain the project. Adoptions for each dog last for a period of one year and cost US$1,000.


Where does the money go?

A one year adoptions cover the cost of:

	Disease and genetics testing for your adopted dog, as part of the threat assessment study. This information is vital for effective conservation.
	Fuel and equipment costs to enable tracking of the dog, to monitor for snares and conduct behavioural research

What do you get?

The most important benefit that you will receive from adopting a wild dog is the knowledge that your contribution is helping to conserve the endangered wild dog population in Zambia.

You will also benefit from knowing that you are contributing to the long term conservation of Zambia’s wildlife populations, by supporting the conservation of one of the largest protected areas in Zambia.

In addition, you will also receive a number of project materials including:
A Certificate of Adoption that acknowledges your contribution
A biographical fact sheet about your adopted dog
Quarterly project newsletters
An A4 photograph of your adopted dog
