It was a chilly start to the morning as the pups, Hungry Caterpillar, Katniss, Lyra, Noddy, Pablo, Pippin and Smeagol, arrived at Dollar Cove on 30th December 2019. They have been nursed back to health by the Animal Care Team over the last few months and have just been given their final health check.
The pups were weighed to make sure they have achieved a target of 30kgs or above, before being loaded on to the trailer and entering the final part of their rehabilitation and the start of their new life back in the wild.
Some pups were nervous when the back of the trailer was lowered; Katniss was first out, followed a few minutes later by Pippin, Pablo, Smeagol and Hungry Caterpillar.
Noddy and Lyra were a little bit reluctant to leave the comfort of the trailer, it has been sometime since they were rescued and the sea was a new challenge for them, but it wasn´t too long before they were...gone!
Good Luck little ones.
