Franklin is an 8-year-old, 35-pound Sulcata African Tortoise with a larger-than-life personality and an inspiring story of survival. When his original owner passed away, his future was uncertain—his family planned to set him loose in Michigan, a fate that would have been certain death for this desert species. Thankfully, another caring family stepped in to foster Franklin for several years until they found us as his forever home.

By sponsoring Franklin, you’ll help provide the nutritious food, warmth, and care he needs to thrive in his golden years. Join us in supporting this wise, lovable tortoise and be a part of his journey as he continues to charm everyone with his steady pace and endearing personality.
