This grant, offered by the Environmental Services Department, aims to establish a centralized facility for the humane intake and temporary care of tortoises. This initiative provides the public with a dedicated location to surrender pet tortoises they can no longer keep, or to drop off tortoises found in developed or urban areas that may be displaced or in need of assistance. The facility will ensure immediate welfare by providing essential temporary care, including shelter, food, and initial health assessments. This grant is specifically for creating and operating this essential hub, facilitating responsible management of tortoise populations and preventing the abandonment or inappropriate release of these animals, thereby supporting local ecological balance and animal welfare efforts.
