Getting rescued can be a pretty big deal.
Suddenly, your whole life turns upside down.
True, you are no longer at high risk for becoming a road pancake.
But still, it can take some time to get used to all the changes and settle in.
In some cases, it may even take a lot of time….like four and a half years’ worth of time.
But then you wake up one morning, take a look around, and see that you are home.
You like your casa. You like the menu. You like the company.
You decide to celebrate by booking a session of “head pats for box turtles” – your very first!

Bruce just doesn’t like to be hasty so he’s ready to agree that head pats are pretty wonderful!
And his rescue mama can say it was worth the wait! 🧡
