Adopt Desert Tortoises in Arizona | Tucson News

Arizona Game and Fish is seeking forever homes for over 100 non-releasable desert tortoises—once illegally kept, now ready for loving families. These long-lived, surprisingly affectionate pets can live 80-100 years and even make it into your will. But adoption comes with a big responsibility: you must build them a burrow to survive Arizona’s heat, plus provide grasses and leafy greens. They’re protected in the state, so they can’t leave. If you can’t adopt, donate to help care for these shelled companions while they wait for their perfect match. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
