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.

Celebrate Gopher Tortoise Day year-round with a tortoise friendly yard

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) invites you to celebrate Gopher Tortoise Day on April 10. This year, you can celebrate gopher tortoises by making your yard tortoise friendly and participating in our new recognition program.
The FWC’s new Gopher Tortoise Friendly Yard Recognition Program honors Florida’s private landowners for contributing to wildlife conservation. Gopher tortoises live in every Florida county and, since more than half of the land in Florida is privately owned, the FWC recognizes the critical role private property owners play in conserving gopher tortoises.
