American Tortoise Rescue

Welcome to the international turtle and tortoise information site.

Hey turtle lovers - Donations are down 80 percent  thanks to the economy, so won't you help?  Even as little as $5 helps the more than 100 turtles and tortoises who reside here permanently at the rescue, including poor little deformed Monkey Boy, left.  We have never taken a salary nor spent any money that didn't directly help the turtles with food, veterinary care or heating supplies.  Please help!  It's tax deductible!   Bless you. Susan and Marshall

Sometimes we feel that our ideas about turtles and tortoises can change the world, and we want to let you know how you can join in and make the world a better place too for all these gentle creatures.

We welcome your thoughts, photos and suggestions on how we can improve the site and help even more turtles and tortoises so don't be shy.  Let us know how you feel and tell us if you see happiness or misery in your turtle world.
