This is Lucy

This place is awesome! The staff truly love the animals they care for. I adopted the perfect little kitten. They listened carefully to me and when they thought they had the right little girl they called me and she was the perfect match for our family. The adoption fee seemed high but boy do you get a bang for your buck. They wormed her, given all of her shots, spayed her and microchipped her. The cost for all of it would have been so much higher at my vet! Even if you are not ready to adopt, stop by with kitty litter or food. Extra collars and leashes, kennels, toys. They are a nonprofit and these donations can really help.

star, one of the kitties who was here (already adopted :c)

Have a dog from there we got 5 years ago. We got the perfect dog for us! He was in great health when we got him. Staff was so helpful.

Eden Animal Sanctuary - Manfred, homecoming!

Eden Animal Sanctuary

(1 review)

Anyone that has known me for any length of time knows that chelonians (broad way to group turtles…read moreand tortoises together... they're different, people!) are my spirit animal, and I've wanted one as a pet for a very very very long time. After a lot of research about all things tortoise and acquiring/assembling my set up, I decided that just buying a tortoise from a store wasn't an option. It was captive bred or adoption. A captive bred situation didn't work out and I stumbled upon Eden Animal Sanctuary (and Manfred!) with a Craig's List search. They're a chelonian specific rescue that operates on a private property. They rehabilitate surrendered turtles/tortoises and find the PERFECT homes for them, if they're considered adoptable. Filled out an "I'm interested" form on AdoptAPet.com and FB messaged the sanctuary (https://www.facebook.com/edenanimalsanctuary), letting them know that I'd submitted the form. Rachel responded to my message within minutes, sending me the adoption application and asking for pictures of my set up. The application was long and very thorough. I was a little nervous filling it out, even though I knew that Manfred belonged with me and that I could give him an amazing life (and that I'm going to have to put him in my will because he will likely outlive me). Then the waiting began. I was anxiously prepared to wait over a weekend (as I'd sent in the application on a Thursday evening), but, on Friday afternoon, I received an email saying that I'd been approved! I may or may not have danced around like an idiot for the rest of the day. Just kidding, I totally did. The following Saturday, a couple friends and I made our way to an adoption event in Spring Branch, where the rescue had a presence. I had no difficulty ignoring all the adoptable dogs (not usually the case with me) at the event as I made my way to the turtle/tortoise table. I knew it was my Manfred the moment I saw him. I chatted with Rachel a little bit and filled out his adoption form, promising to return him to the sanctuary if I could no longer care for him. I was also able to meet a couple of the other chelonians from the rescue, including a teenaged sulcata named Radar and three box turtles. I paid my adoption fee (donations and adoption fees go towards building habitats and caring for the chelonians) and skipped away with my new, best reptile buddy. All in all, I can't recommend Eden Animal Sanctuary enough. It's obvious to me that Rachel loves what she does and loves the animals even more.

From the owner: ​ Eden Animal…read moreSanctuary is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of neglected, abused, injured or unwanted captive chelonians (turtles & tortoises). We are passionate about educating the public about proper chelonian husbandry.
