World Turtle Day microchipping event
We’re partnering with the San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society for a special microchipping event on World Turtle Day, May 23, 2021.
We will be microchipping turtles and tortoises in the care of T&T Society, while promoting adoptions and sharing important educational messages around turtles and tortoises as pets.
We receive an average of 64 stray turtles and tortoises each year! A microchip with current information will improve the chance of returning the reptile to his or her home.
When: Sunday, May 23, 2021: 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Where: San Diego Humane Society’s San Diego Campus, 5500 Gaines St., San Diego, CA, 92110.

The Gentle Giant was a beloved therapy animal and loved by many. Author: Jeff Zevely (Reporter) Updated: 6:24 PM PST January 1, 2021
ENCINITAS, Calif. The San Diego Botanic Garden wants to memorialize their beloved Giant Galapagos turtle with a commemorative bench. In this Zevely Zone, I went to Encinitas to say so long to Sam.
Sam, the Giant Galapagos Tortoise, who came to live at the Garden through an amazing set of circumstances and served as a therapy animal for many years to people with special needs, died on Nov. 5, 2020.
There was nothing typical about Sam s story from the start. It gives me goosebumps that this all came together here, said Julian Duval, the San Diego Botanic Garden s President and CEO Emeritus.
