My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Tina was brought in by her previous owner on 2/4/2025.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Tina, a sweet and charming red-eared slider! She loves swimming, basking under her heat lamp, and exploring her tank. Tina is looking for a family who can ensure she lives out her days in comfort without the chance to (slowly) make a break for the wild, as red-eared sliders are non-native to California and can disrupt our local ecosystem. While Tina could settle into a massive indoor aquarium (100+ gallons), her ideal habitat is an outdoor pond where she can swim, bask and explore in a safe, predator-free environment. The pond should be established and bioactive or equipped with a high-tech filter to keep things clean. With a lifespan of over 20 years, Tina thrives on a diet of turtle pellets, supplemented with a species-specific menu including delicacies like insects, fruits and veggies. And don't forget to install that tiny turtle fence! If you're interested in adding Tina to your family, come meet her today!

Our lifesaving safety net has helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to keep healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized. We are a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.

With campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and San Diego, we provide animal services for 14 cities within San Diego County. We not only care for 50,000 animals in our communities but also share the expertise we have gained through our innovative programs with shelters nationwide so they can save more lives in their communities.
