In just two weeks we have had two stray tortoise.

Thanks to social media and the support of the local community the first was claimed within minutes of it going on facebook and the stray rabbit we featured also was claimed very quickly.

If you think that this may be your lost tortoise then please call the GSPCA on 257261 or pop into the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

The tortoise was found in the Vale area on Saturday and is a female Hermans adult.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager 'With the help of social media it has certainly helped speed up the time in finding owners for lost animals.'

'We are very grateful to those supporting our online attempts in reuniting found pets and currently on facebook and twitter within a 24 hour period posts are often shared more than 100 times.'

'We currently have this stray tortoise at the Shelter and asking everyone to please spread the word so that we can find the owner.'
