Market Square

With another roasting day ahead of us the GSPCA want to ensure all pet owners take care of their animals.

The GSPCA during hot weather always receive reports from concerned members of the public that have seen dogs locked in cars and other animals in glass houses.

The last month has been no different with dogs being reported in cars to pigs in greenhouses.

With the warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs in cars are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.

Today The Prince's Trust TEAM programme are offering running a stall in Market Square, St Peter Port at the Fresh Friday Market.

They are there all day selling cakes, raising funds dressed as giant animals and running a fun Secret Life of Pets tombola all in aid of the GSPCA.

Last Thursday and Saturday we once again joined the many stall holders at the Guernsey Market Buildings.

With a selection of games, goods and Christmas trees a fun day was had and we would like to thank all that supported and helped.

Volunteers and helpers included Helen, Adele, William, Sheila, Kevin, Sarah and Steve who together helped raise nearly £600 between the two days.

We are planning to have a stall this Thursday which will be the last of the year and we are hoping to have a stall at Oatlands on Sunday for the Christmas Market there.

Today pop by and see our stall in Market Square.

With lots of games, Christmas goods, cards, pet stockings and even locally grown Christmas trees please do pop by and see the team raising funds for animals in Guernsey.

A huge thank you to all that have supported, volunteered and donated so far we hope to see you in town tomorrow.

We have a huge weekend of Christmas tree selling, a stall in Market Square on Saturday, stall at Oatlands on Sunday and also the Santa Paws Sponsored Dog Walk we hope to see you at least one of our many wonderful events and fund raisers.

On Saturday the GSPCA joined the stall holders in Market Square on the terrace to raise funds for the animals at the Shelter.

With gale force winds, driving rain and a nip in the air the volunteers helping had to brave the elements.

On the stall was Molly a young beagle who was dressed as Mrs Claus and certainly stole the show and helped raise much of the funds raised.

The stall was well positioned and we got to watch the unveiling of the bronze donkeys and also Santa turning on the Christmas town lights.

The GSPCA have a stand in Market Square, St Peter Port with games and selling a range of goods with the run up to Christmas.

Goods will include GSPCA tops, Christmas Goods, pet supplies and lots of gifts.

Please support our staff & volunteers that will be there.
