Lots of calls for our turtle friends lately!

Turtle Rescue League

Please watch the roads! Turtles across Massachusetts are on the move. Our facility is swamped with calls for turtles that have been hit by cars, like the gentle giant pictured here. ⁣
⁣
We are primarily seeing male common snapping turtle movement. If you find a turtle in the road, stop and help it across in the direction it was facing. ⁣
⁣
If you find an injured turtle, TAKE IT WITH YOU even if you cannot transport it to a wildlife rehabilitator. Contain the turtle in a dark, dry box. No food, no water, and no at-home medical treatments! Contact your local wildlife rehabilitator right away. ⁣
⁣
To contact us for help with an injured turtle or make a donation to help cover the care of our patients, please visit www.turtlerescueleague.org. The link is in our bio! ⁣

We are closing in on finishing up inspections and licensing for 2026. Please be mindful of the Massachusetts laws and the things we have to do to keep your pets and livestock safe!

1) all dogs must be licensed with the town and have a current rabies cert on file. Failure to do this and attach the tag to your dogs collar will result in fines or complications when your dog gets loose or is involved in an incident. Contact your town clerk to update everything.

2) any kennel that has 5 or more dogs on site at any given time must have a kennel inspection and pass that inspection in order to operate. This includes private residences. your town clerk for more guidance on this.

3) every property with any livestock or animals that are not a dog or cat MUST have a barn inspection completed each year. This is to determine who we need to contact in emergencies or outbreaks. Contact your town clerk to get this completed.

If you know of any property that you feel needs to be visited or contacted for any of the above reasons, please message us. We do realize there are many farms we have not visited yet and it is essential that we have a current database of who is operating a farm, whether it be private or commercial.

We currently cover the towns of Chesterfield, Cummington, Goshen, Westhampton and Worthington.

Thank you for your contributions to our community.
