It’s hard to imagine a time when nobody wanted to adopt a Russian tortoise as lovable as Trombone. But that all changed in August 2021 when he found his forever family in Madeline Ricketts. Shy yet sweet, Trombone is nervous in nature but can be affectionate once he opens up to you. His favorite things to do are push his ball around, eat Romaine lettuce and climb around his pen. “Trombone is special because he is so kind-natured,” Madeline says. “He prefers to look at you and hear your voice rather than cuddle and be held. We’re lucky to have him as a member of our family.”
