I assume that you meant southern white rhino for the first entry.
 
San Francisco Zoo has Hippopotamus, Eastern black rhino and Indian rhino
Oakland Zoo has African bush elephant
San Diego Zoo has Indian rhino, Asian elephant, and African bush elephant
Los Angeles Zoo has Indian rhino, Hippopotamus, and Asian rhinoceros
 
Saint Louis Zoo - Common Hippopotamus, Asian Elephant, Black Rhino
DeYoung Family Zoo - Common Hippopotamus
Brookfield Zoo - Pygmy Hippopotamus, Black Rhino
Lincoln Park Zoo - Pygmy Hippopotamus, Black Rhino
Racine Zoo - Black Rhino
 
I take it they have a South-Central Black Rhinoceros then? Subspecies minor.

Yes, they have South-Central
Indianapolis has African Elephants and Southern White Rhinoceroses
Omaha's Henry Doorly has African Elephants, Baird's Tapirs, Malayan Tapirs, Pygmy Hippopotamuses and Southern White Rhinoceroses
Point Defiance has Asian Elephants and Malayan Tapirs
Oregon Zoo has Asian Elephants (including the US's only Bornean Pygmy)
Woodland Park Zoo has Indian Rhinoceroses, Malayan Tapirs and Nile Hippopotamuses
 
I forgot that tapirs were pachyderms, in that case here is a more accurate version of what I said above:
  • San Francisco Zoo has Hippopotamus, Eastern black rhinoceros, and Indian rhinoceros
  • Oakland Zoo has African bush elephant
  • San Diego Zoo has Hippopotamus, Pygmy hippopotamus, Indian rhinoceros, Malayan tapir, Baird's tapir, Asian elephant, and African bush elephant
  • Los Angeles Zoo has Indian rhino, Baird's tapir, Mountain tapir Hippopotamus, and Asian elephant
While I'm at it, I'll add a couple more zoos
  • Fresno Chaffee Zoo has African bush elephant and southern white rhinoceros
  • San Diego Zoo Safari Park southern white rhinoceros, eastern black rhinoceros, Indian rhinoceros, and African bush elephant
  • Tampa Zoo has African bush elephant, Indian rhinoceros, and southern white rhinoceros
  • Houston Zoo has southern white rhinoceros, Asian elephant, and Baird's tapir
  • Cheyenne Mountain Zoo has African bush elephant, Eastern black rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, and Mountain tapir
 
Right, tapirs! Bronx also has Malayan Tapir.

Franklin Park Zoo also has Pygmy Hippos as well as Baird's Tapir.
