This little pup was initially hydrated well and only had one small abrasion hear his eye after being tossed around in the waves. Since arrival, he has been tube fed a specialized formula for harbor seal pups. He is doing well and is starting to gain weight.

Dusky had his first fish school today. He was tracking and chasing fish on his first try! Staff will start to incorporate fish into his diet with assist feeds.    

4th of July is a great day to start on full cold water salt swims in his condo pool.  Dusky has gotten very good at regulating his temperatures so is able to handle cold water swims in his deeper pool. 

Dusky has been moved to a larger pool with other seals from a similar rescue location. The three seals will be released together this fall if all goes well!

Today is his big day! Dusky has passed all health exams and is ready for release.  Along with his two pool mates, he will be flown to King Salmon to be released in the same waters they came from.
