Ninety-five turtles were rescued by the Turtle and Tortoise Rescue Sanctuary in Arroyo Grande over the 4th of July weekend after being dumped by pet owners into public ponds.
“A lot of people get tired of their turtles and tortoises and they, unfortunately, dump them in local areas even though that is illegal,” said Turtle and Tortoise Rescue owner Jeff Dobbs.
"I received a few calls about these turtles at the Collection, concerns about the conditions of the pond, people picking them up, tossing them back in, and mishandling them,” said Santa Barbara wildlife volunteer Lucia Brown.
