Biscuits has become an internet sensation! A video we shared on TikTok recently went viral, and people from around the world are falling in love with her story. Thanks to the incredible outpouring of support, Biscuits, and many animals like her, are getting a second chance. We are truly grateful for your continued generosity, which makes this life-saving work possible.

Biscuits has reached an exciting milestone! She’s now in a pool with 8 other seals, staying active by swimming, playing, and enjoying plenty of fish. Her progress is a testament to the care and support she’s received.

Biscuits is progressing well through the rehabilitation process and is a quirky seal who is often spotted in a sitting pose.

  1. How is biscuits doing ? My heart is overjoyed that I got to adopt biscuits and hopefully help with other animals as with my monthly subscription..

    Thank you so much Carol Norbeck

  2. Thank you so much for your support Carol! It is absolutely going to help give Biscuits and our other patients a second chance!

  3. I think I saw Biscuits when I was visiting and walking on the beach Aug 1st! A man pointed her out to me and asked if she was ok by herself! I called animal rescue to make sure but at the time thought her mom was just out for a bit and was reassured that it is normal for moms to leave pups for a bit. Sounds like her mom didn’t come back and so glad she was rescued and is being cared for! I knew her before she was famous!!!!! Already made my donation!

  4. I am in awe by Biscuit’s journey, and I’m at ease knowing Biscuits journey is not over!
