🐻Happy National Hug A (Stuffed) Bear Day! 

Looking for a gift that warms two hearts at once? Our Grizzly Bear Adoption Kit, presented in partnership with Children’s Hospital Colorado, does just that. 

When you Adopt a Grizzly Bear, you’ll receive a cuddly plush to hug at home and we’ll donate a second to a patient at Children’s Hospital Colorado. That means your hug travels a little farther, bringing comfort to a kid who could really use one. 

Not only is this the perfect feel-good gift for the holiday season, your adoption also helps us provide world-class care for Tundra the grizzly bear and the 2,500+ animals who call DZCA home. 🧸 

✨ Give a gift that gives back, hug a bear, share a smile, and support care for kids and wildlife.
