Is anyone willing to help me "bail out" this tortoise?
A vet tech looked at him, said he's weak, nasal/ocular discharge and is in really bad shape. Owner says basically "he's fine".

This is being discussed on two separate threads, so I'm converging them and trying to get help.
MAJOR POINTS NEEDING ASSISTANCE WITH:
-I am a vet tech, if I can get him to Portland, OR area, I will hospitalize him, and do everything necessary at basically cost.
-is it possible someone can report neglect? Can Animal Control confiscate him and turn him over to us...can use my rescue organization name.
-I'm trying to get a plane down to a local municipal airport to get him to me.
-can people donate money to help with bail (hoping to get him for $150-$200) and airplane fuel costs? I have a PayPal account we can use. It's verified. Or potentially donate directly to the airplane owner's fuel account at the McMinnville airport. May be $200 in AvGas. Even $5 helps. Please. If 20 people donate $5, that's $100.
-Can anyone help drive him to at least Southern Oregon?
If I can get him hospitalized, and get him healthy, he will be available for adoption, and I will work with people to ship anywhere in the US. I just want him out of there and hospitalized as he needs us badly!! I will document all care, expenses, and only ask for actually expenses plus shipping. I do not sell my rescues, I just want reimbursed and will I supply documentation.
Here is pic...
Can someone go ASAP with $200 cash and pick him up? Even if you don't have the space, ANYWHERE is an improvement, and I will make triple sure he's outta there by the weekend, preferably sooner.
I posted on the pilot rescue assistance forum.
