What a nice thing to do! I interviewed an author who wrote a book about Pilots and Paws, and they are a great organization! And this story will get the word out that there is such a thing as a turtle rescue place!

The KTTC is Ontario's native turtle species hospital. They are an amazing group of awesome people. If you ever get the chance to visit, do! They have perm Blandings residents there & they are so cute!

The KTTC x-rayed Audrey the Bucket Turtle last year for free, and did a free assessment on her. They did it as we promote the KTTC every chance we get, so it was their way of giving back to the world famous Audrey. They were also super curious about her insides & how she was put together. They also know how important Audrey is to fighting animal cruelty, so they wanted to also ensure she was as health as could be.

KTTC said the Snapping Turtle is recovering well.
