Tortoise with Pink Glitter Nail Polish Found in Waterford

If you know someone who’s missing a tortoise with pint heart painted in glitter nail polish on its back, it’s at Waterford-East Lyme Animal Control.

The Russian Tortoise was found walking around the Waterford duck pond, according to animal control, and they are looking for the owner.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));

“(H)e was obviously owned by someone as he is not a native species and his shell has been decorated with glitter nail polish,” a Facebook post from animal control says. “Sadly he would not have survived in the wild very long, he is now resting comfortably at the animal shelter.

If animal control cannot find the owner, the tortoise will be going up for adoption after Oct. 7.
