Patient Updates
Tula is now learning how to eat fish!
Tula was rescued down the beach from where we live on Indian Arm. It was my son’s 6th birthday party on Friday. In lieu of gifts he requested donations to go towards Tula and her little buddies at Van MMR. He raised $172.50!! Wishing her the best, and hoping for a healthy recovery and that we’ll see her swimming our waters again soon.
