Miley Cyrus, well-known for her role in "Hannah Montana," has recently expanded her family by adopting a 20-year-old African spurred tortoise named Teru. The adoption was made possible through Wags and Walks, a rescue organization based in West Los Angeles, which connected Cyrus with Teru after learning of her interest in adopting a tortoise. The organization expressed its excitement on Instagram, stating, "When we heard that @mileycyrus was hoping to adopt a tortoise, we knew we had to help make the connection happen." Teru had been living in a local shelter prior to the rescue's intervention. The post from Wags and Walks also served as a reminder of the challenges faced by animal shelters, noting that many animals are currently in need of safe and loving homes due to overcrowding. This adoption not only brings joy to Cyrus but also raises awareness about the pressing issue of animal welfare and the importance of adopting pets from shelters.
