TUG IS PENDING ADOPTION - WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY MORE APPLICATIONS FOR TUG AT THIS TIME

Hi! My name is Tug, because I am so cute it 'tugs' on your heart strings ;)

I was brought into the shelter as a stray and then transferred to rescue to help me heal and find my forever home.

So a little bit about me, I'm a vegetarian and I love the outdoors. I am full of energy and always on the go go go!.

Though there is no way to really tell what age I am, based on my color and size I am probably within the 10 - 25 years range. My species can live more than 50 years if we have a lean, high-fiber diet and a low-stress environment with the right temps and light. Bringing me into your family is a lifelong commitment, for both of us!

I require an outdoor enclosure and possibly a safe place inside when the weather is bad. Don't worry, the rescue will provide you with all of the information that you will need to prepare for my arrival :)

If you think we may be a good match, or you would like to get to know me better, please click the Adoption Application button below and an adoption counselor will reach back out to you!

PLEASE NOTE:
1- We can only accept applications from interested parties who are in or near San Diego County, California at this time.
2- We do not ship reptiles but we may be willing to work with you if you are willing to travel if you are still in Southern California.
3- #2 will depend on the animal that you are applying for and is at the discretion of the board of directors.
