Do Not use glue or epoxy to fix a turtles cracked or broken shell. This is poison and will cause a underlying infection in the wounds and even death.

Texoma Wildlife Turtle Rehabilitation
READ BELOW FOR DETAILS:
Must own your home with a fully fenced in yard. Unless your yard is smaller, be prepared to build a tortoise pen for him.
Please do your research on this species. No other torts are permitted to reside with him. We don’t permit breeding.
Tortoises can be low maintenance but are a huge commitment. They’re generational pets. DM for adoption fee.
TEXOMA WILDLIFE TURTLE REHABILITATION
Our animals are temperament tested. They're all required to take meals, express normal behavior, and perform bodily function prior to being eligible for adoption. If you're interested in adopting any of our animals, contact us.
Adoption Procedure:
-As an adopter, contact us with photos and/or video submission of your setup prepared for the animal you wish to adopt. We will politely advise you if modifications are necessary. Proof of a proper setup is required. If you need advice on how to create the ideal environment or need time to create your setup for your new pet, please feel free to give us a call and/or text.
-First-time reptile/exotic pet owners do require a phone interview. Due to the enormous size a sulcata tortoise will obtain, you must own your home to be eligible to adopt one. Please give us time to return your call or message.
-Adoption fees are associated with all animals. You may text or pm us on Facebook for specific adoption fees. Adoption fees and donations aid us in everything we do for these animals.
-Once you and setup has been approved, we will contact you for delivery. Our adoption fees are incredibly fair, especially in comparison to what you could purchase these animals for.
-We'll then schedule a day and time with you to deliver your new baby! Please note that unless there are extenuating circumstances, we do expect your new family addition to be picked up in 5-7 days.

-Upon delivery, you will be asked to sign a disclaimer stating that the animal is not to be bred, sold, traded, or given away. If ever unwanted or cannot be provided for, the animal is to be surrendered back to TWTR. There is absolutely no judgement for having to surrender an adopted animal. You also have our full discretion. This is very important to our cause. As rescuers, we strive to eliminate animal flipping, animal hoarding, and essentially decrease the quantity of animals in need of rescue - We want our rescues placed in permanent, loving, qualified homes.

As a Wildlife Rehabber for turtles, this is very encouraging. I have released Box Turtles in new, safer areas because they could absolutely not be released in the same area as found and injured. I released several on a friends ranch and she still sees them after many years there.
This doesn't mean if you see a Box Turtle crossing the road to take them to a new location. Help them cross by putting them in the direction they were going. If you do come across a injured one, contact a rehabber immediately.

Turtle Release Day!
Released 14 water turtles today that were hit by cars and healed. I had to keep a few a little longer. I couldn't get to my spot because of all the heavy spring rains. Most took right off into the water and a couple needed a little more time.
