Rescue FAQs

Tortoise Group's mission is to educate and advocate for the protection and well-being of the desert tortoise. While the desert tortoise is threatened in the wild, there are many homeless pet desert tortoises. We are the only group in Nevada addressing this issue, through education, public outreach and adoptions. Tortoise Group is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization since 1982.
Tortoise Group is the only legal means of adopting a pet desert tortoise in the sate of Nevada. We save abandoned tortoises in Las Vegas and find them safe forever homes in Las Vegas, Henderson, Pahrump, Reno, Carson, and Elko!

Additional adoption info

The first step to desert tortoise adoption is to fill in an application at http://www.tortoisegroup.org/adoption.php

A tortoise needs a burrow built to Tortoise Group safety standards, plants to eat, a water dish, and an escape proof yard. Fill out an Adoption Application first to find out how to get your yard ready! The adoption fee of $75 does go to help care for other homeless tortoises.
If you live in Las Vegas, we do a yard consultation to help you get ready.

If you live in Nevada near Las Vegas, Reno, or Elko, Tortoise Group invites you to visit our website and fill out an AdoptionApplication at http://www.tortoisegroup.org/adoption.php.

Due to federal and state laws Tortoise Group is only able to adopt to residents of Nevada.
