WOOF! Barks! Since our human loves turtles, especially sea turtles, well actually pawbably all turtles, we couldn't let World Turtle Day go by without bringing it to your attention. Barkingly, today was designated and celebrated as "World Turtle Day" to increase awareness and ensure their protection. 

A pawsome way to celebrate turtles is to visit a rescue to learn how you can volunteer to help these pawsome fellas. Arfs, there are pawlenty of opportunities from cleaning their aquariums to feeding them. 

Our humans occasionally take trips to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Topsail, NC. Here, they enjoy several hours of learning how the teams of volunteers rescue sea turtles, take care of them, nursing back to health, and finally release them back into the ocean.   

Barkingly, a fun way to support sea turtles is to adopt one. Barks, no, you don't get to take the fella, or girl for that matter, home with you. This adoption uses your financial donations to support the daily care of a rescued turtle. Arfs, it's really kinda cool because you get a photo of your sea turtle, a certificate of adoption, and a bit about the turtle's history. 

Paws, another way to support turtles is to make financial donations to a local turtle rescue to help with the expenses of those they rescue.
