在報警詢問後，警察建議他們將海狗送到豪特灣海狗救援中心（Hout Bay Seal Rescue Centre），在警車的護送下，索妮亞載著查爾斯和這隻名為「薩米」（Sammy）的海狗前往救援中心，抵達後，雖然第一時間無法得知薩米出了什麼問題，但現場工作人員懷疑牠是因為食物不足而嚴重飢餓。此外，對於查爾斯一路緊抱著薩米的狀況，索妮亞形容：「通常海狗不會允許人類靠近，該團隊以前從來沒看過這種狀況。」影片最後更新表示薩米狀況不錯，和救援中心的其他海狗互動良好。
🚨Seal Rescue: PLEASE READ Yesterday morning, we came across a man carrying a seal in his arms. Charles, who had found the seal in distress on Glen Beach, had been carrying the seal since the night before and was walking to find someone who could help. 🥺 After many phone calls and no one being able to assist, because it is outside of their jurisdiction, we eventually were told that Hout Bay Seal Rescue was the best place to take Sammy the seal. Escorted by the police, we took Sammy to the Seal Rescue Centre, where Amos was waiting for us and took Sammy into his care. 🏥 It is still unclear what was wrong with Sammy, but they suspect he is suffering from severe starvation due to a lack of food availability. 😢 Usually, a seal would not allow a human to come close and the team had never seen this before. Here is what you should do if you see an animal in distress: 1. Maintain your distance- do not try to touch or pick up the seal 2.Send a photo and your location to Hout Bay Seal Rescue – 0729885193 3.Do not put them back into the water! 4.Keep people and other animals away from the seal A big thank you to Amos and the team from the Hout Bay Seal Rescue Centre and to the City of Cape Town police who were with us every step of the way 💜🙏🏽🦭 You can help their cause by donating. I will be checking up on Sammy, so keep a look out for updates. Xx #saveourseas#protectourplanet#protectouroceans
