All of our rescued seals from last season have been returned to the sea. Stay tuned for the next seal season starting January 2021. You can help us by adopting a seal for yourself or as a gift for that special person! All proceeds go to the care of our patients.
Please help us prepare for the upcoming seal season by donating here.
