Turtle Homes offers more than adoption and rescue. People new at keeping turtles and tortoises can request a Turtle Homes Mentor to privately answer all their questions. Additionally, we invite the public to volunteer with us, working on varied special projects. Both these programs are managed by Steven Stover (Steven@turtlehomes.org).

Michael Nesbit (Mike@TurtleHomes.org) and Barbara Bonner, DVM (turtlehosp@erols.com) head up Turtle Homes Asia. Their Asian Breeding Loan Program helps to form breeding colonies for a wide variety of Asian turtles. Through this program, we have loaned more than twenty Asian CITES I and II turtles to date, doing our part to mitigate the growing Asian Turtle crises.

We staff educational booths at reptile expos around the United States and invite you to introduce yourselves to us when you can attend.

Marissa Armour (zooglet@yahoo.com) coordinates the Turtle Homes Participating Organizations, a national network of similar organizations that work to benefit turtles and tortoises. She answers public relations questions.
