Turtle Rescue of Long Island

The goal of Turtle Rescue of Long Island is to provide reliable, up to date information on the care of turtles and tortoises as well as provide a haven for those in need. On the pages of this website we hope you will find the information you are looking for. We strive to provide the best possible information on all aspects of care of chelonians. You will find links to some of the best sites on the web for species specific care. If you can’t find something just send us an e-mail and we’ll try to find the info for you.

Turtle Rescue of Long Island is a 501(c)3 non-profit rescue that became incorporated in 2004. We do our best to place all the turtles and tortoises which can no longer be kept for whatever reason that are brought to us. 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.

We also take in many native and non-native chelonians for rehabilitation. There are cases that can be anything from hit by car, illness, cruelty cases, neglect and abandoned. Whenever possible all native wildlife is returned to the wild as they should be. Most others are adopted to permanent homes.
