Lovejoy's Story

A second chance can change everything.

As an infant, Lovejoy needed expert care and support.

Because caring people stepped forward, he got the help he needed. Today, Lovejoy is thriving.

But perhaps the most remarkable part of his story happened next.

For a long time, his brother Finn was afraid to venture into the outdoor habitat.

Then Lovejoy led the way.

Recently, Finn followed.

The young siamang who once needed so much help was now helping his brother find courage.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

Today, Lovejoy is thriving.
Tomorrow, another animal will need help.

Your support helps provide expert animal care, veterinary treatment, conservation, education, and meaningful experiences for animals and families throughout our community.

$25,000 Matching Challenge

Your gift goes twice as far.

A generous supporter will match every gift dollar-for-dollar until the $25,000 challenge is met. As we celebrate the Virginia Zoo's 125th Aniversary, consider making a gift of $125 for 125 years. Your generosity can make twice the impact while the matching challenge is available.
