Patient Updates
MWP is in our biggest pool where he is rapidly gaining weight and preparing for life in the ocean.
MWP is quite large now, he looks like a whole new pup and loves playing with his 10 other pool mates.
MWP has made steady progress and is clearly enjoying his big pool and the company.
Progress! MWP has moved to a training pool. In a few days, he'll be able to graduate to a pre-release pool, once he's a little more comfortable.
MWP seems to have settled in nicely. He was quite active today, alert and curious ─ all good signs!
Named in honour of my father who died in February.
We are all so happy Mr. MWP made it safely from a Port Mellon industrial site via the amazing girls from the SPCA and Harbour Air! The response time from MMR and the SPCA from our initial call to the time MWP was secured in a crate was less than 4 hours! Simply amazing! We all so look forward to seeing this adorable little pup’s rehabilitation and eventual release back to the ocean! Thank you, all!
Oh my goodness! The cuteness! He seems so much more comfortable. I can’t wait to see the lil fella grow up! <3
Even cuter without lanugo, how is that possible!
Have fun with your new buddies as you work toward your release! Your so cute and you make the world a better place! Hugs and love to you! xoxo
