On Thursday a Yellow Bellied Slider which is a type of turtle was rescued at Albecq and we are currently appealing to find his owner.

Today is International Turtle Day and we have helped many turtles at the GSPCA including those that have been flown to Gran Canaria like Olivia the Loggerhead Turtle that was rescued in 2016 and Murtle the Green Turtle that was rescued over a decade ago.

One of the luckiest and most unusual stories of a turtle we have ever had at the GSPCA is that of ‘Billy No Mates’ as he’s been named.

Billy No Mates was rescued in a very unusual manner back in early March this year.

Today is World Tuirtle Day and we think back to those we have helped and those looking for homes.

Every year the GSPCA helps turtles but two years ago we helped rescue Olivia the loggerhead turtle that was found in Guernsey on Vazon on a cold winter morning very close to death.

After months of care and a lot of help by many islanders, businesses, the States and so many more she was flown to Gran Canaria to be released back to the wild.

Her story featured on the Dodo website and received over 1.4 million views in a matter of days.
