Sounds of Silent Spirits

Sounds of Silent Spirits Providing Sanctuary for Birds and Tortoises, and all Reptiles. This endeavor expanded to home for unwanted, or abandoned reptiles, and birds.

SOUNDS OF SILENT SPIRITS SANCTUARY started over 10 years ago when our two founders, Deb Henggeler and Regene Fonville, saw the desperate need to secure a permanent sanctuary for injured Desert Tortoises. Although we have helped other animals our primary purpose is to provide Sanctuary to Reptiles and Birds. To date we have over 50 tortoise and turtle enclosures that mimic each species natural habitat. Our other rescues consist of horses, goats, pigs, dogs, cats, and a variety of Birds. Although Sounds of Silent Spirits has accomplished a great deal we still have lots to complete at our Sanctuary in Lucerne Valley, CA. We need to build a few more aviaries, horse stalls, a winterized area for our hibernating Tortoises/Turtles, a new indoor snake and lizard habitat, and a new roof on the Barn. We encourage and rely on your donations of time, money, and animal supplies of all kinds.

A veterinary team in the Philippines fitted an Aldabra giant tortoise with four wheels to help support its hind legs and ease pressure while it walked. After the tortoise showed improved mobility, the wheels were removed and it returned to walking normally.
