Good luck

Good for you, that sounds like the ideal setup for a tortoise that most people shouldn't have...
Here's a great link that actually talked me out of a Sulcata last year, but, it's still an interesting read..

You can also apply through these people and they notify you when one becomes available..

People in warmer states are given preference though, so you shouldn't have too long of a wait..

I would google turtle and tortoise rescues in your area. There may be one. Also google for herp rescues.
Always best to take in a rescue animal, if possible!
Good luck!
