Dear all,
I'm posting this thread because I'm hoping to find a new and safe place, through this forum, for my 4-yr old female Sulcata, Arya, to stay for the next 8 - 12 months, preferably in the South Florida area
I bought Arya from a local pet store when she was just a few months old, and witnessed her healthy growth to a big girl. About 10 months ago when Arya just turned to 3, I realized that my small apartment can no longer offer her the best habitat to continue her growth. Therefore, I made the difficult decision to send Arya to a local tortoise shelter as an interim arrangement, with the plan to buy my own house in 2 yrs where Arya can have a backyard. The owner of the shelter was very kind to accommodate to my need, he not only took very good care of Arya, but also always kept Arya off the adoption list. As an appreciation to his help, I also made donations to his shelter regularly when I go and visit Arya. Arya also enjoyed companies from other sulcatas in the shelter.
Just when things appear to be going in accordance with my plan, I heard from the shelter owner a couple of days ago that he plans to move out of the State soon, and therefore will close the shelter (which is very unfortunate, as this has been one of the best shelters in Florida). While I'm still on track of buying my 1st house in the next 8-12 months, Arya will need another home between now and then.
I am therefore turning to this forum for help, as I understand it connects a broad network of people who loves tortoises. If you are someone (or can connect me to someone) who loves sulcata and has a place that can accommodate Arya for the next 8-12 months, please kindly let me know at your earliest convenience. Of course, I will be responsible for covering all costs/expenses associated with Arya while she stays with you.
Hopefully I will find someone in South Florida, but I'd be open to any where in Florida so long as it's a safe and comfortable place hosted by the right person (BUT NO BREEDERS PLEASE). If you have any other suggestions that may help my situation, I would also greatly appreciate.
As shown in the photos, Arya is a healthy 4-yr old girl who currently weighs just over 28 lbs.
Thank you, everyone, for reading, and for possibly helping Arya!
sincerely,
Yihuan & Jiaying
