WE ARE AVAILABLE
We are frequently asked if we have tortoises or box turtles available for adoption. Deciding to place our tortoises with other families is never an easy decision for us. Many of these animals come to us with health issues, deformities, and often from very neglectful situations. We struggle with making sure we never put these amazing animals in those situations again. We also recognize that we cannot keep each animal that comes into our care, especially those that are healthy enough to be adopted. We will post updated candidates on this page with some details about each one. If you are interested in applying for ownership please fill out an application here

We will do our best to place the right tortoise or box turtle with the right family so both you and the tortoise (or turtle) are happy.
ADOPTED
Spike, through no fault of her own is still available for adoption. The person who committed to adopt her was a no-show. She is approximately 9 or 10 years old. Her current weight is nearly 50 pounds. She is a shy, sweet girl that needs room to roam. If you would like to give Spike a forever home and have a large yard or acreage to allow her to graze and roam, and can also provide her an indoor enclosure that is heated for the winter months, please visit our home page and fill out an adoption application found under the adoption tab.
WILSON is a Russian tortoise looking for a new home. He arrived at the rescue a few weeks ago. his owner could no longer keep him due to a conflict with her dogs. He is shy and unsure of his new surroundings. He needs a forever home that will love and care for him and coax him out of his shell. Russians live approximately 6o years and are small manageable tortoises for families. He will need an outdoor area for summer that measures at least 10X15 feet. He will require a large tortoise table for his indoor enclosure (no aquariums). If you are interested in applying for Wilson please visit our home page and fill out an application. Be sure to mention Wilson in the comments.
ADOPTED
Chandler is a young sulcata tortoise, approximately 5 years old. He weighs about 6 or 7 pounds and has a LOT of growth ahead of him. We are calling him a male, because his previous owner believed he is. The truth however is that there is no way to know for sure until they are ten years of age. If you can provide a heated indoor space for the winter and a large outdoor space in the nicer weather for grazing and roaming, and want to commit to a tortoise that may live 100 years and grow to over 100 pounds, then please visit our home page and fill out an adoption application located under the adoption tab.

Several Box Turtles
We currently have several three-toed box turtles available for adoption. Their age, gender and coloration vary. We do not charge an adoption fee for native turtles,but we do ask you make a donation to our rescue so we may continue rescuing and caring for the new surrenders arriving. As with all our potential adoptees, we do require a completed adoption application be filled out and submitted to us for review. Please do your research before considering adopting these amazing little turtles. They do require very specific husbandry and diets. Adoption applications may be found on our home page under the adoption tab.
