Thanks to your incredible generousity our patients are gaining weight and, as you can see above, some are even going home! These patients only got a second chance at life because of your support in helping us achieve our $150,000 Dollar-a-Pound campaign goal. Because of committed people like you, we've rescued over 300 animals so far this year.

A BIG thank you to the Waitt Foundation and to YOU for helping us meet the $10,000 challenge! This will make a big difference for these patients.

It's an unprecedented year for us with more than double the normal number of patients on site now than in a typical year! In order to give all of our patients the best chance at surviving in the wild, each animal needs to get bigger and stronger, and as our pups grow, so do their appetites! Our hungry pups are eating 4,000 lbs of fish per week and our food bill is now estimated to be $150,000 – double our original estimate because we are projected to have double the number of patients. 

Double the patients = double the food! Please can you help and give a starving seal a meal?

Here's how your gift helps...


$1   = 1 pound of fish

$10 = 1 fish smoothie for 1 seal pup

$25 = 1 day of medical care for 1 seal pup

$50 = 1 day of fish smoothies for 1 seal pup

$75 = 1 day of meals & meds for 1 seal pup
