Smokey Quartz was very lucky to have been rescued from a log boom on the Fraser River by Kat and her father-in-law. They drove him all the way to the rescue centre! (Thanks so much!)
Patient Updates
We barely recognized Smokey Quartz today! He's grown so much and is looking great in his pre-release pool!
Vet tech Bree: "Smokey Quartz has just started eating fish on his own. He’s extremely handsome and he knows it. Every time I check in on him he’s suckling on his flips."
