Turtle has a permanent sponsor, and isn't availble for adoption or fostering. If you are interested in sponsoring another animal in need, please check back to the animals section.
R escued as an adorable, orphaned kitten, fluffy little Turtle spent several months in our care before finding a home that we all hoped would be his forever. Unfortunately, this wasn’t to be, and Turtle was returned less than a week later, through no fault of his own, we hasten to add. When pets have been returned from their adoptive homes, it’s important that we take extra care to ensure that their next home, is their final one. The threat of abandonment should never loom over their heads, and they should be loved and cherished for the rest of their life.
Sponsor history
Turtle has two sponsors whose combined contributions cover Turtle's maintenance:
Steven Yenzer since July 2018
Anna-Lina Blahaut since January 2020
The procedure for adopting or fostering an animal from HAS varies from animal to animal and from person to person, but the following steps are always involved one way or the other.
1. Let us know of your interest in whichever way suits you the best.
2. We will arrange for you to visit your preferred animal at their home at the Sanctuary or ABC and Rescue Centre.
3. We will discuss in person with you the practicalities of adopting/fostering an animal.
4. You will ensure that all your family members affected by the adoption/fostering are in agreement, and that they will do their best to promote the interests of the animal.
5. We will do a house visit to ensure that you and the animal would be comfortable living with each other there. If necessary, we will advise on ways to adjust the living quarters to suit the animal.
6. You will pick up the animal from its present location, or, if possible, we will drop the animal at your house.
7. You will bring the animal to the ABC and Rescue Centre for yearly free health check-ups that include vaccinations.
8. Should you experience any problems at any point in the life of the animal, you should never hesitate in contacting HAS.
