Symbolic Adoption
You can help us care for Salish and the more than 100 marine mammals we rescue, rehabilitate and release every year by symbolically adopting her today with a small donation to the rescue centre.
Patient Progress
Milk Matrix Salish is being fed a milk formula that mimics the milk she would receive from her mother. This formula is high in fat and promotes weight gain. She will eventually be weaned onto fish.

I flew this little nugget to Vancouver from Jervis inlet. Even with a nasty wound to her eye she was still talkative and perky! She’s a little trooper! Can’t wait to see her get healthy and back to the wild!
