PDP is a 501(c)3, not-for-profit charity, dedicated to preserving prairie dogs and their habitat.  We are staffed by volunteers and run on donations, grants, and contracts.  All funds raised by the organization are used for the preservation of prairie dogs, through stewardship, rescue and relocation, and education of the public about the importance of prairie dogs.  You can be a part of this effort by “adopting” a prairie dog, family, coterie, or colony, for yourself or in someone else’s name.  This would be a great gift for that person on your holiday giving list who has everything, including a passion for wildlife.

Adopt a Prairie Dog:  $25.00. Your donation will be used to sustain a prairie dog in one of the urban colonies in Albuquerque.  For your donation, you will receive a personalized certificate of appreciation, a photo of a prairie dog, and a fact sheet about the Gunnison’s species.  The prairie dog will receive hay, grains, and vegetables a minimum of once a week from March through September.

Adopt a Family:  $50.00. Your donation will be used to sustain a family of prairie dogs in one of the urban colonies in Albuquerque.  For your donation, you will receive a personalized certificate of appreciation, a photo of a prairie dog mom and pup, a fact sheet about the Gunnison’s species, and a beautiful prairie dog ornament.  The prairie dogs will receive hay, grains, and vegetables a minimum of once a week from March through September.

Relocate a Prairie Dog:  $75.00. Your donation will be used to fund the capture, staging, relocation, and release of one prairie dog threatened by human conflict or loss of habitat.  For your donation, you will receive a personalized certificate of appreciation, a picture of “your” prairie dog, its vital statistics (sex, weight, and microchip number) recorded when it is processed for release, a relocation fact sheet, and a PDP T-shirt.  The prairie dog will receive a new lease on life in the pristine grasslands environment of the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge.

Adopt a Coterie:  $75.00. Your donation will be used to sustain a group of prairie dog families in one of the urban colonies in Albuquerque.  For your donation, you will receive a personalized certificate of appreciation, a photo of a prairie dog mom and pup, a fact sheet about the Gunnison’s species, and a PDP T-shirt.  The prairie dogs will receive hay, grains, and vegetables a minimum of once a week for one month.

Adopt a colony:  $100.00.  Your donation will be use to sustain one of the urban colonies in Albuquerque.  For your donation, you will receive a personalized certificate of appreciation, a photo of a prairie dog mom and pup, a fact sheet about the Gunnison’ species, a 9″ tall plush prairie dog, and a children’s activity book.  The colony will receive hay, grains, and vegetables a minimum of once a week for one month.
