This is Turtle Boy (TB), a Desert Tortoise, who is on the endangered species list. He belongs to a very good friend of mine, Debby Ann Diaz, and her husband, Larry Diaz. Sadly, Turtle Boy has been stolen from his home in San Pedro, CA, 4 days ago. :-(( He has been a member of this family for 24 years, and Debby and Larry are so devastated! He also has a wonderful doggie and kitty who are missing him very much! Debby says he is very vulnerable and needs special care...and in 6 weeks, he goes into hibernation, which the thieves would not understand! Please share this, esp if you live in/near San Pedro, or know anyone who does....Turtle Boy belongs with this family who loves him dearly!!"

Have you checked with the CTTC - to see if he was possibly turned in to them?

Sorry to hear this. I hope he is found. Make sure you let all animal rescues, and vets in your area know. Also, post a craigs list ad. Leave the photos out. Let it be known that they cannot be sold and that a return of him, will be with no questions asked. However, nail them to the wall, after of course turtle boy is returned. Good luck. Keep us updated.

I'm so sorry to hear this and hope TB will be found soon.
I worry about my torties, to many people slow down when they go past my place.
Makes me nervous. Hubby and I are in talks about a 6 ft wooden privacy fence at the road.

thank you blessed 3x and bigred.

bigred, he was taken from their backyard. debby said that in the 24 years TB has been with them the fence is always closed and he has never gotten out. everyone knows to close it. that day all was well. when she came back outside the fence was open. there were workers in the neighborhood that day. that is the only unusual thing. she hates to assume that one of the guys took him, but no one ever leaves the fence open. she has scoured the area with fliers and contacted the local shelters and stuff. breaks our hearts.
