Patient Stories

In wildlife rehabilitation there is no shortage of stories to tell. Every patient has gone through a harrowing journey to end up here, and deserves to have their story told. We share each tale to shed light on the situations turtles are facing, so we can empathize and grow as a community. Together we can help mitigate the impact humans have had on these amazing creatures.
