Little RES Q is a special group in Ontario, Canada. It is a registered charity, which means it is a non-profit organization that helps others. Their main job is to rescue pet turtles. They also help other reptiles like snakes and bearded dragons. The goal is to find these animals new, loving homes. This also stops them from being released into the wild. Releasing pets into the wild can harm local wildlife.
