Shellington's Story

Shellington is a 4 year old male Sulcata tortoise who came into our rescue on July 13. He is very active and appears to have no fear. This silly guy will go investigate anything new without an issue. He does really well in his foster home with eating and has been around a larger dog, but they have never directly interacted. On intake, Shellington measured 9 inches by 6 inches, but still has a lot of growing to do! Shellington is hoping his forever home will reach out soon!<br/><br/>This animal requires a 25’x12’ enclosure. Outdoor pens must be secured into the ground at least 12 inches to ensure they will not dig and escape. Proof of habitat will be requested at time of adoption inquiry. <br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Shellington, please reach out to us at christinaspets@netzero.net, text us at 610-390-1655 or start an inquiry on this page.<br/>Must be able to travel to the Palmerton, PA area for pick up.

Christina's Reptile & Animal Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
Adopters start by reaching out with an inquiry about an animal we have posted. Then, we contact them regarding the habitat the animal will be placed in, to ensure they have the essentials and are set up for success (picture proof required). After ensuring the adopter is ready for the animal, we set up a time for them to come and meet the pet. If it seems like a good fit on both the adopter's end, as well as the rescue's end, they are able to take the animal home. All adoptions happen in Palmerton, PA. We do not ship animals.
