Turtles and Tortoises available for adoption:

We do not adopt animals outside of the state of Georgia except for licensed educational facilities. We do not ship animals anywhere, anytime except for AZA licensed facilities at their expense and arrangement. This is not open for debate so please do not ask.

When Animals are available for adoption, they will be listed below. Please do not send in general requests. Species specific requests are alright as long as it is for a species which we currently have available and you give us details on your housing set-up and how you would care for the animal. Applying for a specific Russian tortoise is the same as applying for any of our Russian tortoises. You may end up adopting a different one than the one you applied for.

Submissions which avoid giving us the requested information or are incomplete will be discarded without review. We do not have time to keep track of all of the non-specific or incomplete requests. Humor is appreciated, but not appropriate on an adoption form. We appreciate your interest in helping an animal in need find a home, but we need your assistance in using our time wisely.

Names do not necessarily reflect the gender of the animals. We do not always determine the gender of the animals which come in unless there is a specific need for it.
