 ADOPTING A TURTLE OR TORTOISE

 

Click Here: Photos and Videos of Turtles and Tortoises we have available for adoption.

 

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

Adoption forms are available to download here:
