Artemis

Artemis was surrendered to the sanctuary in 2025. Well loved as a hatchling - purchased from a breeder in Florida and raised well, Atremis' previous owner lived in an apartment with plans to move into a home in a few years. She was unable to move and she wanted Artemis to be able to spend a lot more time outdoors.<br/><br/>Looking for a lifelong companion with a big personality and an even bigger shell? Meet Artemis, a wonderful Sulcata tortoise searching for a forever home!<br/><br/>Sulcata tortoises are known for their impressive size, curious personalities, and long lifespans—and Artemis is no exception! Artemis is currently 25lbs and can grow to weigh between 150 & 200lbs. This special tortoise enjoys exploring, grazing, and soaking up the sunshine. With proper care, space, and commitment, Artemis can be an incredible companion for many years to come.<br/><br/>Because Sulcata tortoises grow very large, Artemis needs a dedicated home with plenty of secure outdoor space, appropriate shelter, and a family prepared to provide specialized care throughout Artemis' life. Adopting a Sulcata is a big commitment, but for the right home, it is also an incredibly rewarding one!<br/><br/>Could you be the perfect forever family for Artemis? <br/><br/>Interested in adopting? Apply today through Unsheltered NC and help give this amazing tortoise the forever home it deserves!
