Tortoises live a long time and people's lives change. When they can no longer take care of their turtle or tortoise we are here to help. We are located in Northern California. We have gotten tortoises from 48 states. 
Text Katie at 530-941-0544 to surrender your tortoise.
​
With roughly 50-80 in the Sanctuary and over 2400 already adopted in 8 years, we have come to the conclusion that this is a much needed rescue. We are one of the largest tortoise rescue in the US.
​
If you're thinking of adopting a turtle or tortoise please go to our Adoption page to see what is available. This page changes often as we adopt out and get new ones in daily. We have care pages for the most popular tortoises we have for adoption so check them out. 

If you even can't keep your adopted tortoise just give it back to Tortoise Acres. We will find it another perfect home. Enjoy them as long as you can. We know life happens.
​
​Unfortunately we are no longer able to have the public visit the sanctuary. We are not ADA compliant and we lost our insurance.

We greatly appreciate donations. We are a  non-profit 501(c)(3) rescue & sanctuary. Everything it takes to feed and take care of these beautiful creatures comes from donations, fundraisers, sponsors and adoptions. To make a donation please go to our donation page and see how you can help.

Unfortunatly at this time we are not having volunteers as the insurance company has dropped our liability insurance.
