Great rescue centre.... Clearly the animals are very well cared for. Very knowledgeable owners too. Many thanks for everything including the tour, advice and our new shelled family members.

Visited today and dropped off our lovely turtles that we could no longer care for properly. What super facilities there are, especially the turtle pond.  My two took one look at the pond and dived straight in and looked right at home.  Please support these facilities if you can.

Lovely family run rescue centre. I had to make the unfortunate decision to re-home my two turtles and nowhere around the area I live was accepting them, I didn't trust putting them on any other websites for local rehoming as I wanted to make sure the two went to a good home and would be looked after.
I stumbled across FT rescue centre and knew this would be the place for them to go to, to be rehomed. They have webcams so you can have a peek at how they're getting on and it will give you that peace of mind to see that they're settling.
When we arrived after a long journey, we had a lovely welcome by the owner and his family. We had a look around at the areas where the turtles were kept and could see that this was very well maintained and looked after. They have put a lot of time and money into this and it is very obvious that they care.
Along with the surrendering fee of my two turtles, I gave an additional donation, along with the unused equipment and leftover food I had to help the family run rescue centre.
Thank you again FT Rescue!

I reluctantly had to give up my turtle after 22 years … but I 100% believe he will be well cared for … I instantly was made to feel at ease and knew I had chosen the right place for him that would give him the care he deserves… thankyou so much

We took our 2 yellow belly sliders last weekend as they out grown their tank and we was unable to care for them. We was quite upset having to do this but the welcome we received was fantastic and as soon as we seen their new home, we was amazed. The pond they was put into was brilliant and very well looked after and so spacious for the turtles. We was so happy by the time we left as we knew they would be very happy in their new home.
I couldn't recommend this enough, it's absolutely fantastic.

absolutely fantastic.

I've had my terrapin red eared slider Sam for 35 years but due to changing circumstances I couldn't keep him. The South Yorkshire Terrapin & Tortoise Rescue reassured me by their care, treatment and professional knowledge of looking after terrapins. It's a truly lovely set up amazing to see so many happy terrapins living their best life. wonderful people and very dedicated.

An amazing set up and such an amazing send off for me personally. I forgot that today was a sad day and it ended up being a fun experience and leaving satisfied that my turtles have gone to the best place. Alex is so lovely and you can tell this is his strive for life. Thanks again South Yorkshire rescue, you’ve made this sad experience into a positive one and I know my turtles are safe with you. ❤️‍🔥

I was reluctant to re-home my turtle Gizmo after having her for 17 years but after much research I found this wonderful charity. The setup they have is absolu amazing and are such a lovely and knowledgeable couple with a clear passion for the animals in their care. I have no doubt that Gizmo will be well looked after.
