| TAZ - Rescued on 9th December 2006 |
| On Saturday the 9th of December 2006 the Sanctuary received a call about a pup at Newquay. We sent a member of the team off to Newquay and they found the pup on the beach. This pup had lots of wounds and its eye was closed. |
| The pup was put into a cage and brought back to the Sanctuary. The pup was put into isolation and was given a clinical assessment. This pup weighed 19 kilos and was around 8 weeks old. The pup also had a graze to its chin, an ulcer to its eye and lots of puncture wounds to body. The pup has been put onto a course of antibiotics and eye drop. The pup is a little boy and has been named Taz. |  |
