My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Nacho! She is noted to love to eat! Caring for red-eared sliders can be a rewarding experience! Here are some quick and fun tips to keep your turtle happy and healthy:
•Adults need a 75-gallon tank or larger with swimming space and a basking area.
•Use a high-quality filter and do weekly partial water changes.
•Provide a basking platform at 90–95°F with a UVB bulb for calcium absorption.
•Feed turtle pellets, leafy greens (e.g., kale, dandelion), and occasional protein treats like shrimp or mealworms. Avoid overfeeding!
•Add rocks, logs, aquatic plants, and floating toys. Live feeder fish can engage their natural hunting instincts.

More about this shelter

Founded in 1949, Humane Society of the Pikes Region is the largest animal welfare group for homeless and abused animals in Southern Colorado, comprising of two campuses – one in Colorado Springs and one in Pueblo – as well as animal control offices in Centennial and Douglas County. HSPPR is a local, independent nonprofit not affiliated with national organizations such as ASPCA or Humane Society of the United States and relies on donations to fund its work. Passionate and dedicated staff rescue and care for animals in distress, provide medical care for abused and injured animals, reunite lost pets with their owners, find loving homes for homeless animals, and investigate animal cruelty and enforce animal ordinances.

As an open admission shelter, HSPPR helps all animals in need – no animal is turned away. That’s more than 26,000 animals a year affected by the mission. HSPPR works every day to end the euthanasia of unwanted animals through extensive community outreach and innovative programs. You can help by encouraging friends and families to adopt a homeless pet, volunteering your time or supporting our life-saving programs by making a donation. We are better together.
