Need to re-home my beautiful one year old red foot.

[MalB]

Turns out I am actually her foster mother. I helped her get out of a home that could no longer care for her the way she needs. I'm 75 and did not realize how much would be involved with caring for her and given my present situation I also feel I'm not giving her what she needs. It's been recommended I bring her to the Colorado reptile humane society for adoption. Would this be the right place to bring her even though it break my heart not to know who would adopt her. Any suggestions?

Let's wait and see if any of our members are interested in adopting her.

If you can, give it some time to see if one of our members can take her
Are you willing to ship if someone talks you thru it?
Be careful of new members that post only on adoption threads. A lot of them only want free tortoises so they can sell them.
If all else fails, yes, the reptile humane society would be a good idea.

Thank you for that information. I wish it could be somebody close by so I could visit but I may be open to shipping her.

Sorry you're not closer to me.
South Florida is probably not feasible

I am in Fort Collins, Colorado and have been looking for a Redfoot. We'd give him/her a good home. Where are you located?

 

[KiraBeckham]

And, Colorado reptile society is a great option!

 

[KiraBeckham]

I am new to the forum but would not sell her/him. She'd be a family pet with a great home.

Where are you located? Could you email me at [email protected] and then maybe we can connect on some of the details to see if it would be a good fit and possibly a visit?

Happy to report that a beautiful family is adopting Arya. Actually I think it's their very gentle smart 9-year-old boy who is adopting her! He fell madly in love with her( he is passionate about tortoises and has wanted one for awhile) as did the other members of the family. I couldn't ask for a better forever home for her... Kind and compassionate with wonderful ideas for creating a great habitat indoors and outdoors in their backyard. And... They live 5 minutes from me and I'll be pet sitting her if they need one when they go out of town. My visiting is encouraged! Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to post and wait. Grateful on so many levels 🥰

You wouldn't happen to be the new owner, would you? (I see you're from Fort Collins Colorado also)
Are you having issues posting?

 

[bayley.w]

Not THE new owner, but a new owner/Foster of a tortoise (7yr old) in fort collins. Also hoping to re-home
