Hello

The Tortoise Protection Group have been asked to find a new home for Andre, a (probably female) juvenile Ibera.  Not too much is known about Andre's past life - she was found by the current keeper while they were out walking a year or so ago, and was quite small when they found her.  Photo attached, she is a very pretty little tortoise, and we understand that she is in good health.  She has been kept in a viv since being found, but her owners know she needs more room and want her to go to a home where she has the space to live happily and can have an enclosure in the garden.

If you would like to offer Andre a new home, please contact the Rehoming Team at rehoming@tortoise-protection-group.org.uk  with the email subject line 'London Ibera'. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY THROUGH THIS FORUM. The rehoming application form can be found in the Rehoming Section of this website:-

http://www.tortoise-protection-group.org.uk/site/131.asp

you will need to download it into your documents, complete it and attach it to your email. If you experience any problems, please let us know, and if you have already completed an application, please let us know when you apply. Please note: There is no fee charged for re-homing but we hope that if you are successful in your application, you will consider a donation to help towards the TPG's work. Please be assured that any donation no matter how small will be spent working towards making a lasting difference to tortoises. Not all tortoises that we have rehomed in the past have required veterinary treatment, however occasionally this has occurred; therefore as a non profitable group we rely on your generosity to help our cause.

Many thanks

Hi Darren,

I have sent you an email expressing my interest in re-homing Andre. I think I could offer her a wonderful home but of course the most important thing is that you find someone who can ... ... hopefully me! :o) Kind Regards, Callum

Hello

A big thank you once again to all the kind offers of a home for Andre.  In the end, thw owner found a new home herself with a local family, and I understand that Andre is settling in there now.
