Our Mission

Our mission, at Turtle Rescue Team, is to provide the highest quality medical and husbandry care for sick and injured wild turtles, reptiles, and amphibians in the hopes of returning them to their natural habitat.  We strive to give our students the best hands-on experiences possible to further enrich their veterinary training.  Through educational outreach programs, we also hope to show North Carolinians the importance of conserving and protecting our native wildlife and ecosystem.

Turtle Rescue Team is a non-profit organization run by veterinary students at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine.  We provide medical, surgical and husbandry services free of charge in the hope of releasing rehabilitated turtles back into the wild.  Every year, Turtle Rescue Team sees and treats between 200 to 300 wild turtles, reptiles and amphibians.
