I am not sure the type of tortoise we have. His picture is my profile picture. He (we checked to see if it was male or female) showed up in our front yard 3 weeks ago, and we didn't want to let him get run over, die etc.... So we took him in for the time being. We have 3 dogs and a toddler at home, and there is no way we can keep him. He weighs about 50 pounds already. I am not asking for anything, just would like him to go to a good home. We didn't save his life for nothing :).

Looks like a Sulcata.
I would recommend that you first only consider long established members.
(Many people are going to want your tortoise.)
It will be easy to find him a great home here.

Thank you Zeropilot, I wasn't sure what breed he was. I definitely do not want him to go to someone who thinks it would be cool to own one and not know how to take care of them.

I can't believe that this post hasn't exploded with responses by now.
You'll soon have many fine interested parties....Please make your general location known.
What state/country?

Such a tortoise was/is someones beloved pet.
Before you let him go, make sure you post a few "found" posters around your neighborhood.
They are very strong and he/she probably smashed through a fence to escape. Maybe from not too far away.

I am located in Desert Hot Springs, CA. My Husband is going door to door today. Yes I can already tell they are escape artists. He keeps testing the fence.
