Hi everyone!
My name is Rachel. I have had a lifelong love for turtles and tortoises. My very first experience with a pet turtle was my beloved eastern box turtle "Mango" when I was a teenager back on the east coast. I have always adored these shelled creatures and decided to start a rescue for them here in a place where it seems there are very little options. I was inspired by a friend of mine on this forum, who is also located in San Antonio. I am running it on my private property of 1 1/2 acres in the hill country- Spring Branch, TX. I currently only have a facebook page, as it seems to be working just great. I enjoy networking with folks of the same passion for these animals as I do. I still have a great deal to learn about all species. I have had well over 10 turtles/torts come in and placed into permanent new homes (with ongoing adoption support available if needed) since January of this year. I have had over 6 years experience in the dog rescue world and I apply my knowledge of how a rescue works in my organization. My rescue's name is Eden Animal Sanctuary. Glad to meet you all!
