It just goes to show...never give up!

Update

We have been so busy at the Sanctuary lately. We are still admitting seals nearly every day and there is no let up. We also have Brenda the badger to take care of and an oiled bird which requires constant care and monitoring. Tiny Tim and a few of her companions were released at the weekend which was brilliant to see-we wish them a long and healthy life in the wild!

We are organising some fundraising events in the very near future:

Sponsored swim in Howth on February 22nd and a table quiz on the 20th of March! Please contact us if you are interested in helping us or taking part!

The sponsored swim is in aid of Ebony. Ebony came to the Sanctuary a few months back. We assume he has neurological problems but we need further tests to confirm. As you can imagine this is an expensive process and we need all the help we can get. Jordan, one or our resident volunteers, came up with the idea of a sponsored swim to raise funds to help us pay for his treatment.

Check back soon for pics of Ebony as well as the process we go through to save an oiled bird!
