A Growing Haven: A Tortoise Rescue Story
In 2022, what began as a single act of compassion grew into a thriving tortoise rescue dedicated to giving some of the world’s most misunderstood reptiles a second chance at life. That first tortoise—a Redfoot—arrived in need of care, space, and proper conditions. It became the spark that ignited a mission that continues to expand year after year.
Since then, more than 15 different tortoise species have found safety and renewal through this rescue. Among them are Leopard tortoises and Sulcatas, species that are often kept in environments far too small or unsuitable for their complex needs. Many arrived from cramped enclosures, improper diets, and conditions that limited their growth and overall health. Each new arrival reinforced the same truth: with the right care, space, and understanding, tortoises can truly thrive.
As the rescue grew, so did the vision. Two years into this journey, the next major milestone took shape—the hatchery!!
