My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

***Turtles often benefit from the companionship of each other!
***Adopt one and HRA will waive the adoption fee for the second when adopted in pairs!

Tisha is one lucky red-eared turtle. She, along with other animals, were abandoned in an apartment for weeks. She arrived here in rough shape, terribly thin and needed medical care fast to heal. We got to her just in the nick of time! She is feeling much better but will need devoted adopters so that she gets proper care going forward. Tisha has been enjoying time swimming around in the turtle pond and getting good meals and exercise. She will need a proper turtle pond where she can continue to heal while getting better nutrition. Turtles like to eat dried fish, live goldfish, and mealworms. They also like shrimp and pellets. Turtles like to eat crickets and leafy greens and other veggies. They really enjoy and need a variety of foods! Red eared turtles can live to up to 40 years! These neat pets do have unique housing, dietary and set-up needs to live a long and healthy life.
