Minnow's Story

Minnow is a red-eared slider turtle. She is mostly aquatic, but does come out of the water to bask. She eats Zoo Med Gourmet turtle food (with dried cranberries), Reptomin, shrimp (freeze-dried specifically for aquatic turtles), goldfish, and occasional fresh vegetables. Minnow is about 18-20 years old. She is a "look at me" pet and not a hands on pet.<br/><br/>Minnow wasn't cared for properly in her previous home. She is missing all of the toes on one foot (damage done before the prior owner bought her at a pet shop). It is critical that she never be put in a pond or released, as her foot injury makes it harder for her to swim and catch food.<br/><br/>She enjoys a 55-gallon aquarium where she can bask, swim, chase goldfish or take a nap at her leisure.<br/><br/>Minnow is looking for a permanent retirement home with an experienced aquatic turtle owner. Donations to help pay for her ongoing care are appreciated.

Silver Dragon Pets's Adoption Policy
If you've fallen in love with one of our adoptable animals, please fill out and email an application (available on our website)! We do require a veterinary reference, and a copy of your lease or rental if you do not own your home, to make sure pets are welcome. Please allow us up to one week to confirm your references and see if you are a suitable match for the pet you've chosen. If you match, we will proceed with an in-person meeting so you can meet the animal and get to know them. Sometimes it's an instant match, and sometimes personalities may clash. This is also a wonderful time for your other pets to meet on neutral ground to see if they get along. If your face-to-face meeting works out and everything looks good, you will be asked to sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. If the animal is ready to go, he or she can go home with you right away. If we're still waiting on further veterinary care (animals undergoing more extensive medical care, or those with pending spay/neuter surgery appointments), we will bring the animal back to his/her foster home until they are cleared for adoption, at which time they can go home with you. Puppies and kittens adopted before six months old will require a (refundable) deposit, which will be refunded when proof of spay or neuter is provided prior to the age of seven months, and microchip has been registered to the new owner. This deposit is $50 for kittens and $100 for puppies. This is paid in addition to the adoption fee. All kittens and puppies 12 weeks or over will receive a rabies vaccination prior to adoption. All cats and dogs are microchipped prior to adoption, regardless of age.
