Do you enjoy watching the African painted dogs in their habitat when you visit Brookfield Zoo?

Confident, powerful, and quick, Cesar is at the top of the pack at Brookfield Zoo.

Now imagine having the opportunity to truly know him, and to play a key role in providing top-notch care for the animals of Brookfield Zoo by becoming Cesar's VIP Lead Patron.

What would this look like?
There are so many reasons to take part in this exclusive opportunity!

As Cesar's VIP Lead Patron, your family name will be on display at the African painted dogs habitat at Brookfield Zoo for one year (beginning July 1, 2021). You will have special VIP access, allowing you to truly get to know this capricious canine. This includes:

  • An exclusive food toss experience outside of the African painted dogs habitat, with VIP parking, a cart tour and lunch for six.
  • A Zoom chat or Birthday shout out with a member of Cesar's animal care team.
  • Regular video and written updates - allowing you up close and personal (but safe!) face to face access.
  • Additionally, you'll receive photos, cards, and name recognition in the Chicago Zoological Society's Annual Report.


You can help make a difference by sponsoring Cesar at the VIP Lead Patron level.

More about Cesar:
Born on January 13, 2020, Cesar and his six brothers and sisters provide endless entertainment for guests. They spend a lot of time playing, but sleeping in a big pile in the sun is also a favorite activity, along with taking advantage of the pool in their yard. Cesar can be distinguished from his siblings by the large white abstract llama shape on his left side -a marking keepers have used to identify him since his birth. He also has a white "c" shape on his right side. Cesar interacts with keepers during feeding and training and is the most vocal of his siblings. He loves to play and leaves nobody in his pack out - if there are dogs rough-housing or romping around the yard, it's a pretty sure bet Cesar is in the mix. Cesar and his sister Daisie share a special bond. They are often seen resting with their heads on each other's hips.
