Welcome to American Tortoise RescuePlease note: After 17 years of rehoming more than 3,000 turtles and tortoise successfully, we will no longer handle adoptions or relinquishments. Please contact the organizations listed below that can help you find a new home or adopt the wonderful animal of your choice. American Tortoise Rescue will be spending its time now exclusively advocating for turtles and tortoises just as we have in the past but with more fury. We will continue our crusade to stop the issues that affect them throughout the world, including habitat destruction, the live food markets in the US, the looming legislative issue allowing turtles and tortoises under four inches to be sold again after a 33-year ban and the cruel pet trade, among other problems.
We've had a great ride doing adoptions, but we feel that we can be more useful pressuring the bad guys, stopping cruelty and educating everyone about the care and feeding of these wonderful creatures. No other organization has been as aggressive in this particular fight as ATR, so by reducing the thousands of hours it takes to do adoptions, this will allow us even more time. This takes money, so please do not stop your generous donations from coming in. We will continue to house and care for the more than 100 turtles and tortoises who have found sanctuary with us.
Bless you,
Our turtles and tortoises need your help NOW!We need your help and support more than ever as advocacy costs a lot more than lettuce. Making a tax-deductible charitable contribution, donating materials, volunteering your time and becoming an official member of American Tortoise Rescue are all ways you can support our efforts. See how you can make a difference.
