"Education" is the Key"

We take our message to schools, daycares, summer camps and animal venues teaching young people

how to care for our animal friends. 

We teach young people to research...research...research before adopting any animal. Ask yourselves a lot of questions and figure out what you are prepared to handle. Find out what the animal eats. Are you willing to feed the animal what he needs? How big does it get? Did you know that an Iguana can get over 6 feet long? What kind of an enclosure will your animal require when he is older? How long does he live. Some animals live only a few years. Are you prepared to loose your pet in such a short time? Some animals can live over 100 years. One of the hottest selling animals right now is the "Sulcata" or "African Spurred Tortoise". They are being sold as adorable "little" hatchlings. However, with a little research you will find that the Sulcata is actually the third largest tortoise in the world. Many people adopt on emotion, not realizing that this cute little tortoise can grow over 200 lbs, and will most likely out live their adopter.

We believe that with education, our next generation can stop this cycle of unwanted and abandoned pets,

making better choices and long term commitments.

We at Turtle Talk Rescue understand that "life can change in a heartbeat".

There are times when a rescue is all you have, and we are glad to be there for you and the animals.
