I want to give a big shout out to Don Bouchet our sanctuary manager. He is our behind the scenes guy who is in charge of all of our volunteers, all of our school kids that come and work and all of the happenings at the sanctuary. Don is out there every morning at 6:30 AM checking heat mats and opening tortoise houses then he’s back at 1 o’clock after picking up our Donated food from Orchard Nutrition in Redding. He cleans and fills water, irrigates on days that it’s needed, cleans and feeds all the Tortoises. He also runs our Tortoises to the airport when they need to be shipped. He is our tortoise transport when Tortoises need to be picked up in a 250 mile radius. Then just before bed, Don puts all of the Tortoises locked in their boxes, checking their heat mats again. Don lives at the sanctuary and he is a huge part of the running of the sanctuary I could not do this without him. There are many other things Don does with the Tortoises. He is very valuable to us. Please say hi to him when you come out and thank him for all he does.

Thank you Matt & Kristin for sponsoring Mochi
Sponsoring a turtle is tortoise is so important to help keep the rescue funded. It feeds and heats these shelled friends that are unadoptable.
