Bernard the mascot

JOULES of Guernsey’s recent window display has caused quite a stir amongst island dog lovers who have taken a liking to the 10 cardboard canines currently residing at the front of the Pollet shop.

‘Since we made the display we have had quite a few people asking if they could buy the dogs when it is taken down. The team and I thought this would be a great way to raise some funds for the GSPCA so from Monday we will be accepting sealed bids for each of the cardboard cutouts,’ explained Joules’ manager Carol Hutchins.

Did you see our mascot in St Peter Port today?  Well find out why he was there on Monday......

GSPCA attending this Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg hunt for young children and families.

Date: Sunday, 25th March from 1:30 until 4:30

Location: Blanchelande School Field

There will be hidden markers for the children to find, and they will then receive chocolate eggs and treats based on how many they collect. The children will be organised into age groups, so that the markers can be hidden accordingly.

The last 3 weeks staff and volunteers have braved the weather to sell GSPCA and pet goods in town and Oatlands during the late night shopping evenings.

Even in pouring rain they stood there from 6-9pm raising funds for the Animal Shelter.  A big thank you must go to them and Bernard who helped raise nearly £1500 all of which will go towards helping animals in Guernsey.

Bernard our mascot gave out hugs and lollys whilst those helping sold everything from GSPCA mugs to cat toys, rabbit stockings to GSPCA teddies, reindeer antlers and flashing noses to chocolate bars.

This evening we had a stall at Oatlands Late Night Shopping selling all sorts of GSPCA goods as well as a lovely selection of Reindeer Antlers and Noses.

We would like to thank all that popped by and supported us, as well as the management at Oatlands for inviting us and of course the staff that volunteered and helped out.

All the money raised will go towards the welfare work that the GSPCA does and if you missed us then we will be outside Instep in St Peter Port tomorrow night with lots more goods including a wide selection of pet stocking fillers.

All had a wonderful day at the GSPCA Animal Shelter Christmas Fayre this weekend.

Below is a video featuring some of the pictures from the day and again thank you to one and all that supported and helped.  Many of the pictures can be seen on our facebook page (click here to go our facebook page and add us as a friend).

This evening was our first of three Christmas shopping Thursday nights where we have a stall outside Instep in St Peter Port.

Despite the weather we were there with Bernard and thank everyone for their support and look forward to seeing you all next Thursday night.

Lets hope it’s a bit drier next week…..
