Last Chance! Gift Your Sweetheart a (Symbolic) Fennec Fox

Time’s running out to give your beloved their very own fluffy fennec fox or clouded leopard.

Purchase a Friends of the National Zoo Adopt a Species package by midnight tonight to guarantee delivery by Valentine’s Day!

Is your sweetheart hundreds of miles away? No problem — packages can be shipped anywhere within the contiguous U.S., and shipping is free!

Sure, we’re talking about gifting symbolic, inanimate plush objects, rather than live animals. But as our animal care staff can assure you: the plushes are plenty cute and relatively low maintenance.

By purchasing an Adopt a Species package today, you’ll be showing your love not just for your Valentine, but also for conservation efforts at the Zoo and worldwide. And next time you visit the Zoo, you can see the resident fennec foxes, Daisy and Barkley, and the new clouded leopard cubs, Jilian and Paitoon!

Both limited-edition Adopt a Species packages include an adorable plush, a postcard and a certificate you can personalize. We offer a range of options year-round, including red pandas, Komodo dragons, cheetahs and more.

Go to fonz.org/adopt now to order your Adopt a Species package!

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
