Yes. I've posted 'found' ads on both craigslist.com and on my neighborhood's Nexdoor. This tortoise was found in my 'neighborhood' so it was a piece of cake to get the ad up. I'll also put up a 3x5 card on Petsmart's bulletin board.How do you look for the owners? Craigslist and Nextdoor?
Glad he’s not a bully.

The colors are beautiful.Good day all.
Perfect Autumn Day here following the big storms. Bright sunshine, cool breezes. We drove over to the Patuxent National Wildlife Refuge which is actually only a few miles from our home, probably less then three. Great quiet place with large reservoirs for wildlife. The foliage was wonderful.
Here are a few glimpses into our walkies..

Fudge is, and always has been, a lovely dog - no trouble at all, even as a pup.He is such a cutie pie.
Exactly! It has peas and mint, so as Meatloaf said 'two out of three ain't bad'Lol. What calories.[emoji6]
Picked up another 'found' sulcata this a.m. He weighs 55lbs and has been seen in the area for the past two weeks. Hopefully I'll find his owner soon. It's not a hardship to have him though, as I have an extra warm house off the backyard, where he is. But if I get in another large sulcata, then it will be a hardship. But this isn't usually the time of year they come in, so there shouldn't be any more in my immediate future.

He's quite a nice tortoise. Doesn't try to ram me, doesn't squirm when I pick him up. And his shell is quite smooth!
What a plonker!!!
So very sorry, Heather - your feelings are completely understandable.
We see it all the time with some of our kids in school who may be in foster homes with the loveliest people you could wish for, who give them all sorts of opportunities, but at the end of the day they just want to be back with their folks regardless of how badly they have behaved as parents. It's such a shame and very hurtful for you, but you did your best for him - you are a very special person to have offered him a home in the first place.
Good day all.
