Manatee Animal Adoption

Just in time for the holidays, Save the Manatee Club is offering manatee animal adoptions. You can adopt a manatee for yourself or a friend. Those who adopt receive an adoption certificate, plus a photo and biography of an individual animal.

We adopted, Floyd. He was born in the summer of 1978 and has spent every winter at Blue Spring State Park since his birth.

Twenty manatees who winter at Blue Spring State Park near Orange City, Florida, have been chosen as adoptees. Blue Spring’s is a favorite winter refuge for manatees who seek the spring waters when the surrounding river water temperatures become cold.

To participate in the animal adoption program, visit Save the Manatee or call 1-800-432-5646.
