Welcome

The Rio Grande Turtle and Tortoise Club is an all-volunteer, non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to the care, conservation and preservation of chelonians.

We work with individuals, organizations, veterinarians, as well as local, state and federal agencies to find suitable species-specific homes for chelonians in need.

Through our education programs we are able to better inform shelters and pet stores in the proper husbandry and identification of turtles and tortoises in their care.
