This weekend we welcomed Islanders to our first of the two planned guided tour events.  The sun was shining and the three tours were received extremely well.

The visitors were walked around the Shelter being shown the facilities and getting close to the 200 resident animals and birds.

The tour started in the newly refurbished wildlife unit and went to each of the Shelters departments meeting staff and volunteers whilst finding out what we do and our plans for the future.

Yesterday the GSPCA welcomed the BBC Countryfile team.

We can’t say much as we want to keep what happens as a surprise for the programme.  What you will see is Ellie Harrison the BBC presenter following our Animal Collection Officer Geoff George as well as scenes at the Animal Shelter Wildlife Unit with our new Animal Care Assistants Eddie Higgins and Annie Janes.

The Shelter staff enjoyed working with the film crew and production team.  The GSPCA were very proud showing them the work we do for Guernsey’s wildlife and facilities we have.

Donkeys looking for a new home at the GSPCA Animal Shelter

Submitted by GSPCA on 09:42, 9th Jan, 2012 | 0

The GSPCA deals with hundreds of animals every year looking for homes.  Normally dogs cats and rabbits are  the main species we have for rehoming.

On the rare occasion we get in some larger animals and to start 2012 we have one of those times.

Dizzy and Naomi are two wonderful donkeys looking for a loving retirement home.

They came into the Shelter as their previous owner could no longer care for them.

Naomi is the quieter of the two and enjoys a simple head rub and some gentle fuss.

Wildlife Advice With The Windy Start To 2012

Submitted by GSPCA on 20:19, 4th Jan, 2012 | 1

The start of 2012 has already brought the Animal Shelter a number of sick and injured animals & birds from around the island but with the continuation of the windy weather we are asking everyone to keep a good look out.

The bad weather means it is difficult for hedgehogs and birds to feed normally and the young seal pups can easily be separated from their mothers.
