Adoption Success Alert!

A critically endangered species, Po the Burmese Black Mountain Tortoise came to us as a surrendered pet in January 2026. Only 5 years old, Po will eventually fulfill her destiny as the largest tortoise species in mainland Asia, reaching over 100 pounds!

That meant finding not only a suitable but expert care giver, and, after reaching out to zoos and other institutions, we found him: Rich Spekner, a long time tortoise fan and former exotic pet store owner.

Rich owns a small-farm-turned-tortoise-sanctuary in the east bay, and was ecstatic to take in Po. He hopes to eventually breed more Burmese Black Mountain tortoises, combating the illegal animal trade and promoting the survival of this rare and endangered species.

Thank you Rich for all that you do!

Animals available for adoption can be found on our website (link in bio).

Animal Adoption Success Story Alert!

Quasimodo the Bearded Dragon has come a long way from humble beginnings; being found in Holly Park by an eagle-eyed neighbor, who then brought him into Tree Frog Treks.

Known as the Hunchback of Holly Park for his distinctive spinal ridge, Quasimodo was probably released intentionally and would not have survived long in the wild.

Just a month later, after capturing the hearts of tree froggers and the general public, Chloe swooped down from Humboldt to take him home with her forever. Chloe's former Beardie had a similar spinal ridge, so she was beyond ecstatic to adopt Quasimodo, who will live out his days munching mealworms and spreading joy.

If you are interested in adopting you can email our Animal Care Director at [email protected], and fill out a brief Adoption Application.

Animals available for adoption can be found on our website (link in bio!)
