My story

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

Red eared sliders are hardy and fascinating pets. These aquatic turtles can live for 20+ years with proper care. They require an appropriately sized tank and UVB light/heat in order to thrive. Most red eared sliders tolerate handling, but need little hands on attention and are ideal for homes that prefer a more independent pet. They are also a great option for homes with allergies to pet dander.

More about this shelter

We are an open admissions shelter, meaning we take in homeless animals regardless of age, breed, health, temperament or lack of space. On average, we take in about 5,500 stray, surrendered and abandoned animals per year including dogs, cats, small mammals, birds and reptiles. We provide adoption services to find safe, happy homes for these pets; and also provide low-cost vaccination and microchip clinics to help safeguard them against illness or being lost forever.
