Turtle Rescue of Long Island is a small, self funded, local rescue for turtles and tortoises, however any turtle or tortoise needing a home from anywhere in the states will never be turned away. We will do our best to place any turtle or tortoise which can no longer be kept for whatever reason. Many people buy a turtle or tortoise and know very little about their care and don’t realize how large or how long turtles and tortoises can live with proper care. Others just find they can no longer care for their turtle or tortoise and just want to find it a good home. Whichever the case, we hope to help find good homes for those that need them.
