Adopt a Giraffe:

Dobby

Dobby (HSBM044) is a young male desert-dwelling giraffe who roams far and wide across the vast desert plains of northwest Namibia. Dobby is frequently observed pausing in moments of quiet stillness, a behavior that reflects the giraffe's need for constant vigilance. His long-distance journeys require sustained focus and resource memory, turning the time spent traveling between locations into active mental mapping of the landscape. Dobby's quiet nature serves him well in his quest to find his two favorite things: food, especially Ana trees, and prime watering holes.

Giraffe Adoption FAQs

The Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) is the only NGO in the world that concentrates solely on the conservation and management of giraffe in the wild throughout Africa. Our science-based approach and hands-on field work are essential to ensuring that all giraffe species thrive in their natural landscapes.

Your contribution provides immediate, critical funding for on-the-ground programs that protect all four giraffe species. This support helps secure over 100 million acres of vital habitat and funds the dedicated teams working daily to ensure a sustainable future for these majestic animals.

Your personalized certificate is available as soon as you log in to your supporter portal. You can view, download, or print it directly from your digital adoption page.

Because the giraffe are wild and roaming free in their natural habitat, they cannot be met in person. Your adoption is a symbolic partnership that supports their protection, and you will receive regular updates on these animals as they are spotted during our ongoing field work.

Gift adoptions are delivered digitally via a gift card that can be sent to you or directly to the recipient. The recipient can then redeem the card on our website to activate their personalized 12-month journey and access their supporter portal.

Adoptions are tax-deductible donations used immediately to fund conservation work; therefore, they are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged or returned.

Adopting a giraffe today can help us save giraffe in Africa tomorrow.​​

Our symbolic giraffe adoptions support multiple giraffe conservation projects across Africa, including the return of many giraffe to their original habitat.​

Meet Dobby’s Friends
Get to know our other wildlife ambassadors and choose the giraffe you’d like to support on your 12-month journey.
Ninja
Here’s Ninja, the desert explorer who continuously discovers new paths across the savanna.
Ninja (HSBM136) is a handsome male giraffe with a calm and sweet personality. While first identified in the Hoarusib River in northwest Namibia, he is highly mobile. A true explorer, he moves frequently between river systems and seems to know all the giraffe back-routes through the steep and rocky mountains. His keen eye and strategic positioning underscore the importance of sharp sensory perception for survival in his expansive, challenging domain. He remains a master of the desert, always good for a surprise encounter when we least expect him.
