Do not call or e-mail with adoption inquiries. Our resources are very limited and we cannot respond to adoption requests submitted via e-mail. Please use the forms that are provided online for that purpose.

Founded in 2015 by Krista McDermid. We take in pet box turtles and tortoises in need of a new home. We get medical attention and rehab them if needed and find them new homes. Our executive director is a retired special education teacher/administrator who loves animals and wants to serve them and the public by helping tortoises find healthy new homes. We are all non-profit and all volunteers. We do it because it is needed and we love it.
