Just dropped off our two Herman Tortoises with Alex at South Yorkshire Terrapin & Tortoise Rescue after the hard decision to rehome them, Alex was very kind and understanding about our situation and didn't pass any judgement. Showed us round to reassure us that they would be looked after and had the freedom to wonder in a big enclosure. We can also check on them on the live webcam that are setup. Thank you for caring and making us feel like we are doing the right thing.

Absolutely amazing place, the animals are so loved and cared for! Watching the terrapins in the pond, they all look like they’re living their best life!! I took home 2 sulcatas today, the rescue were very thorough with my set up before I collected them and offered advice on things I needed to change to make it the perfect enclosure for them beforehand! They were also very accommodating with the times of me collecting! Have already recommended them to my friend who is also now awaiting a sulcata friend! Thank you ♥️

Very positive experience with surrendering my 2 horsfield tortoises. Non judgemental, friendly and welcoming family run business.

Took my terrapins on a very long journey to this lovely rescue yesterday . We were present to watch the smallest one get introduced to his new home and saw him swim happily around the pool after spending years in his big tank !! The female had a bite injury and so is being treated and quarantined for the next few weeks and hopefully we will be able to see a video of her released to the group !! Terrapins and turtles need experienced care and although I’ve fed them rescued them from being slung in a canal there is more to it than throwing them some food and keeping their water clean !!! I thought it would be a tearful farewell but it wasn’t it was lovely just watching the little one swimming around the pool like he should have done from the beginning !!! Thank you for helping us xx fab welcome and what a lovely family xxx

Adopted two Leopard tortoises from these guys. They were super friendly and helpful with lots of great advice.

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!
