The GSPCA is delighted to share the heartwarming news that Rupert, a tortoise who was mistakenly thought to be named “Mayside,” is soon to be reunited with his owner after surviving an extraordinary ordeal.

Rupert’s adventure began when he somehow found his way into a recycling bag and was transported to Mayside Recycling. Unbeknownst to staff, Rupert went through part of the recycling process before being discovered—miraculously unharmed.
