We are owners of 2 Desert Tortoises that we rescued. My mom now wants a tortoise of her own. We were promised a 30 year old desert tortoise from a friend who inherited one, however, my friend changed her mind and is going to keep it. Mom really had her heart set on that tortoise. Her yard is ready. Den is ready. Stocked up on all kinds of food for the tortoise, and now she doesn't get it. She's devastated. So, I am searching. Does anyone have a California Desert Tortoise up for adoption?? We live in the Fountain Valley/Huntington Beach area, and we are willing to pay an adoption fee. If you need to inspect the yard, you are welcome. Big yard. Big grass. Nice sleeping den. Plenty of shade and lots of natural HB sunlight. Safe home. No dogs. Please reply. Thank you!!
