Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue

Adopt a Rescue Animal

Symbolic Adoptions directly support Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Society and will help give our patients a second chance at life. Adoptions also make great gifts for any animal lover on your list!

Adoptions are $30, downloadable, and include:

  • A patient fact card
  • An adoption certificate
  • A tax receipt for your purchase
  • Option to send an e-card to a gift recipient

But that's not all! From November 20 – December 8, every Adoption gives you a chance to enter our Home for the Holidays Seal Release contest. Imagine being part of sending one of our patients home! Each Adoption is one entry*. See full Contest Rules for more details.

Home for the Holidays Seal Release and Contest

There's no place like home for the holidays! On December 12, we will have our annual Home for the Holidays event, where we bid farewell to some of our final patients of the year as they return to their ocean home.

Usually reserved for staff and volunteers, this year, one lucky winner of our Home for the Holidays Seal Release contest, will have the chance to join us! Don't miss your chance – make a symbolic Adoption between November 20 and December 8, as each Adoption serves as an entry.

The Home for the Holidays draw is open to legal residents of Canada (excluding Quebec) over the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence. You can see full Contest Rules for more details.
