Adopt a Sloth

Deborah

Deborah (or Debbie, as we affectionately call her) has a special place in Team Sloth’s heart. She had a rough start in life and we had to rescue and treat her several times. Against all odds, she’s survived, thrived, and is now a proud mom to her own little one – she’s a true fighter and is teaching us a lot!
