Default Turtle Adoption

I have two 4 inch turtles that I need to find a home for. I am moving to another country and need to find a great home for them. Does anybody know of any turtle rescue places? I would ideally want an outside pond for them and not someone thats going to put them in a small tank.

I hate the fact that I have to leave them so would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

I probably should have mentioned that! I'm about 10 minutes from Cambridge.

I actually rescued them from a Kids nursery school where they were being kept in a VERY small tank. My best guess is that they are 2 years old. I think they are Red Eared Sliders. They are both Males and around 4 inches.

When are you moving? I am near by and am in the process of building a pond for my sliders for next year, so would be happy to take them off your hands, if you dont mind them being in a tank for a few months? Also would it be possible to post some pics?
