Turtle
& Tortoise Rescue
If you have found a turtle or tortoise and can't locate the
owner, contact the San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society. Tele
#: 619-593-2123. One of our Care Consultants will contact
you about turning in the chelonian to the Society. Because we are all
volunteers, it may take several days for us to return your call. Please be
patient.
In the meantime, provide the turtle a secure area away from
dogs. Make sure water is available for box turtles. Access to shade
is also important during this warm season. Review of our Care Sheet
section may help in identifying the species and resulting care.
In the case where the turtle or tortoise appears to need
immediate veterinary care, please contact:
