SR3 operates the Pacific Northwest’s only hospital exclusively for marine wildlife …
Our 14,000-square foot SeaLife Rescue Center is designed to provide top-tier veterinary care to seals, sea lions, sea turtles and other marine animals, and features a clinical care suite with advanced diagnostic tools and surgical facilities.
Our emergency response ambulance allows us to quickly respond to sick and injured wildlife. The ambulance is specially designed to support triage response on the beach and stabilize patients before safely transporting them to our hospital.
