Why not adopt an animal for an unusual gift?

• Valentine‘s Day – Let your honey know what a fox they are. Look for our Valentine promotion.
• Secretary‘s Day – A gazelle for the fastest secretary in town.
• Boss‘ Day – The boss deserves a grizzly bear or a boa constrictor (just in fun, of course)
• Easter – Something that hops? A kangaroo perhaps?
• Mother‘s Day – A beautiful flamingo, of course.
• Father‘s Day – Forget the tie, give him a tiger instead.
• Halloween – How about a tarantula?
