If you've ever wanted to be part of a wild animal's life, a handful of organizations in San Diego County allow just that via sponsorship and symbolic adoption programs.
– the aquarium is offering the public a chance to name their new little blue penguins.
Through sponsorship programs, organizations may offer tiered adoption packages that give donors more in return such as memberships, plushies of the animal that was symbolically adopted, opportunities to name resident animals and more. According to Barrelet, it costs roughly $1,700 a day to run her non-profit. Those astronomical costs are felt by each entity dedicated to housing wildlife and making conservation efforts, including the farm's neighboring sanctuary, Lions, Tigers & Bears.
There are more than 65 animals of various species being cared for by the staff at Alpine's Lions, Tigers and Bears. As for Spitko and Wendt, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance's mission in conservation is one they agree with.
