It’s National Volunteer Week, and we’re sending a huge round of applause to our incredible volunteers! From the elbow grease when cleaning to the hours dedicated to extra training, from the hundreds of photos taken at releases to the countless conversations at outreach events, none of this work could be done without our volunteers. They truly make a difference in every patient’s recovery! #NationalVolunteerWeek #Volunteers #MarineMammals #WildlifeRehab
Dragon is finally gaining weight! And guess what? Washington’s biggest online giving event is now open for gifts, so you can GiveBIG to help seal pups like Dragon grow big! Dragon’s meals cost about $10/day. If you give now, your donation will be doubled (up to a total of $30,000!), meaning your gift can go twice as far! Donate at https://lnkd.in/gRdnBFqJ The busy summer season is just around the corner, and soon there will be many more animals like Dragon who need your help to get a second chance at life in the wild. Your support will also help free entangled animals, trigger vital recovery actions through scientific research, and so much more. #GiveBIG #WAGives #ThatGivingFeeling #MarineMammalRehab #MarineMammalRescue
On Earth Day three years ago, the Rescue Center opened! Since then, SR3 has cared for dozens of marine animals, including 119 harbor seals, 4 elephant seals, 3 fur seals, 2 sea turtles, and one harbor porpoise who have spent time at the Rescue Center. How can you make sure every day is Earth Day and support marine wildlife? Share the shore! Stay 100 yards away from animals resting on beaches, keep your pets on a leash, and if you see a sick or injured marine mammal, call the Stranding Network at 1-866-767-6114. #EarthDay #ShareTheShore #SR3

This loggerhead sea turtle washed ashore in Oregon at the end of March after becoming cold-stunned in the region’s cool waters. Oregon Coast Aquarium responded and cared for her initially, and started the process of warming her body back up to its natural temperature. After a week in Oregon, the sea turtle was transferred to SR3 in Washington to continue her care. She’s now in a pool full-time at SR3, swimming around, taking naps on the bottom, and occasionally showing interest in food. Videos and care conducted under USFW permit. #SeaTurtle #Loggerhead #Turtle #PacificOcean #WildlifeRehab
