Several organizations will allow you to adopt a dolphin and receive a few gift items in the process. Many times you’ll receive a stuffed dolphin, adoption certificate or newsletter in return. Your contribution supports the organization's efforts. If it’s not clear where your money goes, send an e-mail and ask. You have a right to know where your money is going. Adopting a dolphin in someone else’s name is also a great gift idea for the holidays or for birthdays.
