ADOPT THE FIRST SEAL PUP

In summer and winter, our seal centre is extra busy. That is when the birth seasons of the two seal species take place in the Netherlands. In the first three to four weeks, a seal pup cannot yet take care of itself. If mother and pup are disturbed and lose each other, chances are the pup needs to be taken to a seal rehabilitation centre. In de eerste drie à vier weken kan een zeehondenpup nog niet voor zichzelf zorgen. Als moeder en pup verstoord worden en elkaar kwijtraken, dan is de kans groot dat hij naar een zeehondenopvangcentrum wordt gebracht.

With an adoption subscription you support a pup in our centre. In summer you adopt the first common seal pup  and in winter you adopt the first grey seal pup. With this adoption, you support an important part of the recovery process of these young animals. And thus the work of Sealcentre Pieterburen.

As soon as the first pup of the season is taken in at the Sealcentre, you will receive your adoption package at home. We cannot give an exact date when you will receive the package, because of course it varies every year when the first pup arrives.

We debit the costs for these adoptions from your bank account twice a year. We do this by direct debit. In the form you fill in, you give us permission to do so.

• Adoption certificate with photo
• Information about the seal
• Photos of the pup's release by e-mail
• Saving points for a release: with a full savings card (10 points), you can go for free
