Urgent rescued injured gopher baby tortoise

[donnafayedavis]

Hello,

I need someones help in the Dade City Florida area.....My labrador brought me a baby (Gopher )tortoise. I'm trying to find out if there is a place around here that can help . He is not moving his back legs.
I'm afraid my dog might have punchered his shell. I'm doing everything I know to try to keep him alive .

Can anyone help me to save this little fella he is about the size of a tennis ball if you cut it in half.

Thanks,

Faye

If you send me your contact information, I will forward it to a lady I know in FL. She rescues Gopher torts all the time along with many others. I will shoot her a email.
