Walk-in Freezer in Need of Repair

The Center is seeking your urgent assistance regarding a critical situation we are currently facing at Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. We have encountered a significant issue with our walk-in freezer, which is essential for the proper functioning of our Harbor Seal Pup program.

Recently, we contacted West Mechanical, with whom we have a service agreement, to inspect the freezer. Upon inspection, they determined that major components need to be replaced to keep both the freezer and the refrigerator operational. This repair is crucial for maintaining the necessary conditions to store food for the animals in our care, especially the frozen fish required for our Harbor Seal Pup program.

Without the freezer, we would be forced to make weekly trips to Bellingham Cold Storage to pick up frozen fish. Given the current challenges with the ferry system, this would be highly problematic and logistically challenging. Additionally, we would need to purchase smaller freezers to store the fish upon arrival, which would only be temporary solutions and not sustainable in the long term.

Repairing the freezer is urgently needed to ensure the continued success of our rehabilitation programs and the welfare of the animals in our care. While NOAA was able to provide funding for the initial purchase over 20 years ago through the Prescott Grant Program, that option is no longer available to us. Therefore, we are reaching out to you for assistance.

We would be extremely grateful for any support you can provide to help us cover the costs of the necessary repairs. Your assistance will directly impact our ability to continue providing high-quality care and rehabilitation for the wildlife that depends on us.

Since 1983, Wolf Hollow has treated more than 20,200 injured and orphaned wild animals.
