Two ways to adopt a shark this summer: bring home a limited-edition plush shark or celebrate Shark Week with a virtual adoption.
Shark lovers, it’s time to adopt!
This summer, Shark Angels is offering two ways to symbolically adopt a shark while helping support the next generation of shark conservationists.
Two Ways to Adopt
1. Plush Shark Adoptions Are Back for a Limited Time
Our popular plush shark adoptions have returned for a limited run. Choose your favorite shark species, give your shark a name and receive a personalized adoption package in the mail.
Hurry! Orders must be placed by Saturday, August 15, 2026. Free Shipping in the U.S. All plush shark adoptions will be fulfilled and shipped the following week.
2. Celebrate Shark Week With a Virtual Shark Adoption
Looking for a fun way to celebrate Shark Week? Choose a virtual shark adoption with our special Shark Week option. Name your shark, personalize the adoption and receive it digitally — no shipping required.
Whichever way you choose to adopt, your adoption helps support Shark Angels’ Shark Conservation Internship Program and the next generation of shark conservationists.
All adoptions include your shark name and being listed on our shark adoption wall as an official shark ambassador.
Plush Shark Adoptions Are Back!
Shark Angels’ popular plush shark adoptions have returned, giving shark lovers, families and young ocean advocates another chance to bring home a shark of their own.
But they’re only back for a limited time.
Adopt a Shark and Make a Difference
Whether you choose a limited-time plush adoption or a virtual Shark Week adoption, your support helps Shark Angels continue educating, inspiring and developing the next generation of shark advocates.
Adopt a shark today and help create a better future for sharks.

More Than Just a Shark Adoption
Every symbolic shark adoption has a bigger purpose.
Proceeds help support Shark Angels’ Shark Conservation Internship Program, which gives college and graduate students opportunities to gain real-world experience in shark conservation.
Interns can develop skills in areas such as:
- Shark conservation
- Science communication
- Education
- Public outreach
- Advocacy
- Conservation storytelling
Through hands-on experience and mentorship, the program helps prepare emerging conservationists to become stronger advocates for sharks and healthy oceans.
Helping Create the Shark Conservationists of Tomorrow
Sharks face enormous challenges around the world, and protecting them requires more than awareness alone.
It requires people with the knowledge, experience and passion to make a difference.
That’s why every Shark Angels adoption helps do more than celebrate sharks.
It helps invest in the people who will protect them in the future.
