Spinner may be tiny, but sheās nothing short of a miracle. A very old three-toed box turtle, Spinner was the first special needs turtle to arrive at our sanctuaryāand sheās been inspiring us every day since.
Due to a spinal injuryālikely caused by a car or humanāSpinner constantly turns in one direction and cannot use her limbs properly. For the last 20 years, she has been hand-fed with care, and against all odds, she continues to live a healthy, active life. Her favorite snack? Super worms, of course!
Spinnerās resilience is at the heart of everything we celebrate on World Turtle DayĀ®āthe determination to keep going, no matter what.
šØ Spinnerās Art Contest!Ā
In honor of Spinnerās enduring spirit, weāre inviting artists of all ages to submit turtle-inspired art for our Art Contest. Paint, draw, sculpt, doodleāthereās no wrong way to shellebrate her story.
Use #SpinnersArtContestĀ to share your creation and join us in honoring turtles who thrive despite challenges.
š Fun Turtle Fact:
Ā Three-toed box turtles have a hinged shell that lets them close up tightly for protectionābut Spinner reminds us that even the best defense canāt stop everything. What matters most is how we care for animals after theyāve been hurt.
Thank you for following Spinner's journey and for supporting the sanctuary.Ā
Weāre so grateful to have you as part of our turtle-loving community, and we can't wait to see your entries in Spinner's Art Contest!

Spinner's story is so touching! Such a fighter! It makes you think about resilience. Maybe I should take personality test to see what kind of fighter I am too! Gotta check out that art contest.
