The Issue

“As of 06/16/25, new rule #9 states “No exotic animals are to be on site/outside.” Shelly the tortoise has been a part of this community for 9 years. He brings everyone joy that walks by. People walk by his home specifically to bring him Hibiscus flowers as treats daily. His pin is very well maintained. Most turtles only travel within a mile in their life. Moving Shelly would be traumatic for him and his owners. His owners have had him for 12 years and they spend time with him every afternoon. Please help us by signing this petition to help keep Shelly home.
