Myrthe
Date rehabilitation: 30-05-2025
Location: Dollard
Species: Common seal
Gender: Female
Meet Myrthe. The newborn pup was found alone in the Dollard. During the observation period, it became clear that her mother was nowhere near the pup – in just 24 hours, she lost more than a kilo, a clear sign that she had not been fed her mother's milk. And nutrition is vital in the first weeks after birth. Because such a young pup like Myrthe cannot survive without her mother, we took her in. When she arrived, Myrthe weighed only 5.4 kilos. Will you help her grow big and strong?
Pieter
Date rehabilitation: 20-05-2025
Location: Eemshaven
Species: Common seal
Gender: Male
Pup Pieter, an ode to our history in Pieterburen, was found without a mother at Eemshaven. We observed him for 24 hours and then found that he had lost 300 grams, which is a lot for such a young animal and means that he has not been fed by his mother all this time. Pieter is only 7 days old. Far too young to survive without his mother. Moreover, he was born prematurely, which you can see from his white fur. This makes him extra vulnerable. Without our help, he won't survive. Milk, medicine, warmth, daily checks: it is all needed to make Pieter healthy and strong enough to return to the sea. Will you help us take care of Pieter?
Laurie
Date rehabilitation: 19-05-2025
Location: Vlieland
Species: Common seal
Gender: Female
Meet Laurie, the very first pup of the summer season. Little Laurie was found all alone on a busy beach. Only two to three days old, born prematurely, without her mother and - despite warning signs - surrounded by people and dogs. The crowds made it difficult for the mother to come back, and moving to a quieter spot was not an option: her mother would not be able to find her again. Since a newborn pup cannot yet survive on its own, we admitted Laurie to our hospital. She was the very first puppy at our new location in Lauwersoog, which is why we named her after that place: Laurie. Will you help Laurie grow and return healthy to the Wadden Sea?
Gothmog
Date rehabilitation: 17-04-2025
Location: Ameland
Species: Common seal
Gender: Female
Gothmog was found with a large inflamed wound on her snout. She was immediately admitted to our seal hospital due to the severity of her injuries. Unfortunately, the wounds make it difficult for Gothmog to close her right eye. If the eye is always exposed, it can lead to long-term damage. At the moment, things seem to be moving in the right direction: the wound is healing and Gothmog can close her eye almost completely. Will you help Gothmog recover from her injury?
Mar
Date rehabilitation: 10-04-2025
Location: Schiermonnikoog
Species: Common seal
Gender: Female
Mar werd gevonden op het strand en was schrikbarend dun voor haar leeftijd van ongeveer 10 maanden. Ze woog slechts 11,6 kg, normaal gesproken het gewicht van een pup van een paar weken oud. Bovendien was ze niet actief. Deze symptomen wezen op een ernstige longworminfectie en daarom besloten de dierenartsen. Het duurde maar bijna twee maanden voordat Mar weer zelfstandig kon eten. Nu gaat het steeds beter met haar. Steun jij Mar?
Moana
Date rehabilitation: 29-03-2025
Location: Terschelling
Species: Grey seal
Gender: Male
Meet Moana. This grey seal arrived at our centre at the end of March with a severely swollen flipper. He also had a deep, bloody wound on his flipper. Moana has already undergone several surgeries to prevent further infection. During the operations a finger and several bones from his ankle were removed. Moana is brave, but he needs your help. Would you like to support Moana?
Pearl
Date rehabilitation: 02-03-2025
Location: Julianadorp
Species: Grey seal
Gender: Male
Pearl had been observed for a few days before we decided to take him in. Our seal guards noticed that he kept staying in the same place and that his condition was rapidly deteriorating. Taking care of him was necessary for his survival. Pearl was weak, had a wound on his shoulder and probably a lungworm infection. Yet he was particularly fierce and strong at his intake. Will you help Pearl regain full strength?
