Can I symbolically adopt one of the Autrey Mill animals?
Yes! Autrey Mill hosts a number of animal ambassadors that help our mission of creating a destination and educational resource that inspires exploration and preservation of the natural environment. You can apply to be a sponsor for one (or more) of our amazing animals! Animal Sponsor donations will help us purchase the food and supplies needed to care for the animals, as well as, provide materials to ensure enclosure upkeep. It is hard to not fall in love with the animals here and this sponsorship is a great way to send your support to the animal you feel connected to. Click here to meet our animal friends!
How do I sponsor an animal?
To apply for a sponsorship please fill out this application. Each animal ambassador’s availability is listed on the application. Sponsorship is for one year, renewal year over year will keep your perks for the Tier paid for. AMNP cannot guarantee that any animal will remain at the Preserve for the duration of the year, but in the event of the loss of an animal, sponsors will be given the opportunity to move sponsorship to another animal for the duration.

In addition to the opportunity for sponsorship, Autrey Mill maintains an Amazon Autrey Mill General Wish List and an Amazon Autrey Mill Goat Wish List that both include needs for the animals. Families can purchase gifts for the animals from either wish list and have them shipped directly to Autrey Mill. It is always a special day when we get an unexpected gift!
