    Sonoran Desert Tortoises For Adoption (AZ Only)

    For those users in Arizona, Arizona Game & Fish has over 100 Sonoran Desert Tortoises for adoption. This is a great way to give these animals, who've been illegally captured or breed, a second chance. The adoption program allows interested people to apply from April 1st through September 30th.

    From the article
    Once kept in captivity, these tortoises can no longer be released back into the wild because of the potential of them developing diseases. If such a tortoise is released back into the wild, it can further infect wild populations. Most of the tortoises the department has in its possession are from illegal breeding of the species, as it is illegal to remove them from the wild and illegal to breed them in captivity and federal law prevents desert tortoises from being transported across state lines.
