No. 175: Turtle Lover Comes Out Of Her Shell

If you’re a homeless reptile in the Santa Barbara area, you probably dream of Jeanie Vaughn’s backyard. Since 1994, Vaughn has provided shelter and rehabilitation to injured turtles, iguanas and dozens of other species. The region’s only reptile shelter, Turtle Dreams has taken in hurt and neglected animals from throughout California and other states as well. Vaughn made the news when she saved Bob (pictured above), so read all about that here. Vaughn doesn’t have an email or website, but you can call her at 805-969-4609 to get more information or to offer a donation. Plus: Steve and Emily follow up on the off-leash problems in their neighborhoods. E-mail: [email protected] Web: ThePetcast.Com
