| Severus Snape was rescued on 18th December 2009 |
| The sanctuary received a call on the 18th December 2009 about a pup at Salcombe in Devon. Due to its location we had to send out volunteers who found the pup on the beach, once again it was another pup suffering dehydration, the pup was quickly loaded and transferred to the Sanctuary. In our SOS hospital we could start this pup on a course of fluids, which would help to stabilise its condition while we did a more in-depth clinical assessment. The pup was around 8 weeks old and only 14 kilos meaning this seal was also malnourished, it also had puncture wounds to it rear flippers, which were cleaned and treated. This pup is a little boy and been named Severus Snape. |
