Emergency Numbers

Listed below are telephone numbers to call if you find a seal in trouble. If any of the numbers go out of use or if you know of any we should add please drop us an e-mail.

Before phoning for help write down as much detail as you can, especially as accurate a location as possible for the seal in distress. Remember to have a pen ready as many sanctuaries are run by one or two volunteers and you may get a recorded message giving an alternative telephone number.

If you find any dead seals please e-mail SOSF with the details.

Should you have problems getting help from the numbers on our list you can contact us on 01389-841-639 or call the Animal Concern Advice Line on 01389-84-11-11.
