Triple Your Impact for a Pup

As patients are flooding through our doors, this is the time when your help is needed most. There are more than 70 patients and young harbor seal pups like Firefall (pictured here) often need around-the-clock care.

With so many hungry mouths to feed, fish are flying off the shelves. But today, your precious gift will be matched up to $20,000.

For every $1 you donate, $2 will be added. That means you’ll be helping provide triple the fish meals, giving a pup like Firefall a second chance at life.

Triple my impact!

Book a Tour to Meet Our Patients

This patient is a northern elephant seal, our second most commonly rescued species. We typically see orphaned pups that have stranded during mid-February to late June. Strong storms often wash these young seals off beaches before they have weaned from their mothers or learned how to survive on their own.

This results in many malnourished and underweight pups needing rehabilitative care. Northern elephant seals suffer from disease as well, such as skin disease, pneumonia and parasites like lungworm.
