Southern California Turtle Rescue is a nonprofit animal rescue and rehoming service specializing in aquatic turtles commonly kept within private residential water gardens and backyard koi ponds. As needed, we can also provide rehoming services for various land turtle and tortoise species. Our nonprofit turtle rescue service is run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers who deeply care about the quality of life for each of the precious shelled creatures we take in. As true animal lovers, seeing our rescued turtles flourishing in their new forever homes gives us a tremendous sense of joy and our mission is to find suitable new forever homes for each of the beloved living creatures entrusted to our care.
