Homes with fenced-in backyard ponds especially needed for red-eared sliders!
To Surrender a Turtle or Tortoise:
Please call 301-785-3390 or e-mail MATTS Adoptions
We can't take all turtles all the time, but e-mail or call to see if we have room.
The most important information we'll need is:
- the species (red-eared slider turtle, painted turtle, Russian tortoise, ect.) and
- the size - measure the top shell straight from the front edge to the back edge.
If you have a picture, that would help as well, as we can get the animal posted on Petfinder ASAP.
Other information that helps:
- Size when purchased or acquired, and where it came from
- How long you've had the turtle
- Your city and state
- How soon do you have to place your pet?
- How is it currently housed? Aquarium size, lighting, food?
- Are there any medical problems?
