For over 40 years, the San Diego Turtle and Tortoise Society has been actively rescuing, rehabilitating and adopting out hundreds of turtles and tortoises. SDTTS is one of the largest rescue societies of its kind in the United States with about 500 current members. The Society is all-volunteer, enjoys strong corporate support, and has a dedicated leadership team.
SDTTS publications are recognized for having sound and thorough care information. Monthly meetings at Balboa Park are informative and friendly, and 
feature local veterinarians, care consultants, and nationally known specialists. Every year the Society presents educational exhibits at many local events, and each summer hosts the San Diego Turtle and Tortoise Show in Balboa Park.
