This is Scooby, a harbor seal pup that was rescued by the California Wildlife Centers Marine Mammal Rescue Team at the Pt. Dume Stairs in June of 08. He had a large gash under his chin, was dehydrated and malnourished. He was rehabilitated at MMCC in San Pedro and has since been released back into the wild.

Abandoned Bobcat Rehabilitates At The California Wildlife Center This bobcat was rescued from the Ritz Carlton in San Diego, when an employee abandoned it there. It was brought to the California Wildlife Center for rehabilitation. She was later deemed unreleasable by Dept. of Fish and Game, so the search was on to find a sanctuary that would take her. Thanks to the assistance of many caring people, she was taken by the Wildcat Sanctuary in Minnesota.

Every dog has its day.

There is something so indescribable about the ocean in Malibu. Peace, serenity, calming and relaxing. I for one am blessed to have such a releasing place to call home. There is nothing greater, nowhere more desirable than Malibu California.
