I once found a turtle/tortise, whatever here in the city. The kids down
the street found it & were keeping it in a cooler on their porch. I got them
to give it to me & then called around to find someone to rescue it. I think
I posted about it on Pet General & several people steered me to a local
Turtle rescue/rehabber right here in the city. She came out & took him
home. She sent me newsletters on her groups efforts for a long time after
that.
