San Diego
Turtle & Tortoise Society is ready to assist in turtle and tortoise rescue from people
who have found a lost or injured animal and from people
who no longer can care for an animal due to
illness, age, financial issues, etc.
Adoption or re-homing, is a major function of the Society. The animals
that are turned in to the Society are placed in foster care and are adopted to
homes approved by our Adoptions Committee.
In order to adopt from our Society, you must be a member and
fill out the appropriate adoption request forms. A Care Consultant will make an
appointment with you to visit your yard to ensure appropriateness and safety of
your yard and enclosure for the turtle or tortoise species you plan to adopt.
It is also acceptable for you to email photos of your yard, enclosure and
turtle and tortoise house to us to review and help you with any suggestions,
ideas or approval. You can do so at
adoptions@sdturtle.org.
