We had a fantastic response and within days handed out dozens of patterns and since received hundreds of mice that have been hand made and now entertain the cats and kittens we have at the Shelter.

New soft release pens will help Guernsey wildlife thanks to the Friends of Wildlife

Submitted by GSPCA on 09:13, 17th May, 2012 | 0

The GSPCA starts this spring on a good foot after a kind donation from the Friends of Wildlife.

£500 was donated earlier this year and the GSPCA has used the funds to put up two soft release runs for the wildlife that we have in our care.  The outside pens will be used to rehabilitate the many wild animals and birds it has brought in that are found sick or injured around Guernsey.

After they are cared for, healthy and of a good weight the animals are placed in the mesh runs to get use to the elements so it is not a shock when they are finally released.

This Sunday gone volunteers led by Corrine  Connoly organised a sponsored dog walk which was also led by Corinne’s dog Sidney.

The route which was just under 5 miles went from Grandes Roques up to Pembroke Bay.  Despite the weather over 20 volunteers and participants took part with over a dozen dogs that also helped with stewarding and taking part in the walk.

The weather with high winds and wet at times proved chilly and cold so many of the dogs wore coats to keep them warm and dry as well as their handlers with Sidney sporting a very nice flying jacket.

JOULES of Guernsey’s recent window display caused quite a stir amongst island dog lovers who took a liking to the 10 cardboard canines that resided at the front of the Pollet shop.

‘Since we made the display we had quite a few people asking if they could buy the dogs. The team and I thought this would be a great way to raise some funds for the GSPCA and we are so pleased how much we raised through the sealed bids for each of the cardboard cutouts,’ explained Joules’ Manager Carol Hutchins.

During March Curves Guernsey at Admiral Park collected food to help the Women’s Refuge and the GSPCA.

The female only gym asked members to donate non-perishable food and donations for both the Women's Refuge and the Animal Shelter

Emma Trousdale Welfare and Education Officer popped down to collect the food from Becky Chandler and the team last week and couldn't believe it.

Emma said 'I couldn't believe how much they collected.'  'There was over a tonne of animal food which meant the van was packed top to bottom.'
