Adopt the first seal pups

By adopting, you contribute significantly to the pup's recovery process. By doing so, you support our work. And that is much needed. With a adoption package you will be the first to support the first pup of each birthing season to be cared for at the Sealcentre. This is twice a year. Will you help?

First seal pup of the season

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 he will be taken to a seal rehabilitation centre.

Adoption package

Mit einem Adoptionsabonnement adoptieren Sie standardmäßig den ersten Welpen der beiden Geburtssaisons. Im Sommer adoptieren Sie den ersten gewonezeehondenpup and in winter you adopt the first grijzezeehondenpup. Met deze adoptie steun je een belangrijk deel van het herstelproces van deze jonge dieren. En daarmee het werk van Stichting Zeehondencentrum Pieterburen.

How it works

As soon as the first pup of the season arrives at the Sealcentre, you will receive an email with your adoption certificate. We cannot give an exact date when you will receive the certificate because, of course, it varies each 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.
