Patient Updates

Cape Breton was released after 61 days in our care.

You can see the list of all animals released at this release in the release record.

Cape Breton is quickly becoming a staff and volunteer favourite! She is our first cross eyed pup of the season, but not to worry, it is temporary and pups often grow out of it by the time they are released!

Cape Breton is progressing well and is now in a pre-release pool where she will have to compete for fish with the other seals.
