Miley Cyrus Adopts Giant Tortoise Teru
25 May
Summary
- Miley Cyrus adopted a 20-year-old African spurred tortoise named Teru.
- The singer adopted Teru with assistance from Wags and Walks rescue.
- The tortoise was unusually found in the shelter system.
Singer Miley Cyrus recently expanded her family by adopting Teru, a 20-year-old African spurred tortoise. This unique adoption was facilitated by Wags and Walks, a nonprofit organization primarily focused on dog rescue. Despite their usual specialization, the rescue group assisted Cyrus in finding Teru.
Teru's placement in a shelter system was noted as unusual, underscoring the challenges faced by animal rescues today. Wags and Walks highlighted the overcrowding in shelters and the increasing number of animals needing safe homes. This situation is compounded by recent events, such as the rescue of 29 dogs from a high-intake facility.
This adoption follows closely on the heels of another significant milestone for Cyrus: receiving her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The singer expressed deep gratitude to her family and loved ones for their unwavering support during the ceremony.
