CALREMORE, Okla. — An Oklahoma woman is asking for help in finding her lost tortoise, Dozer.
The 80-pound sulcata tortoise, or African spurred tortoise, disappeared from Sharissa Coates’ home in Claremore near Blue Creek Campground on Sunday.
She said in a Facebook post that she is offering a reward for the safe return of the tortoise.
Coates said Dozer escaped his enclosure and is a fast mover.
She’s had some help in her search for the animal, too, and said she’s grateful.
"I'm heartbroken, but it's precious to me that so many care," Coates said.
