Oiled Bird Training

At the GSPCA we are looking at the possibility of holding an oiled bird course at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in case of a local disaster were to hit our shores.  The training would involve the basics in how to assist the trained GSPCA staff in handling, collection and washing of the birds and we would then ask for your details to be placed on an emergency list for if your skills were required.  To register your details please email stevejbyrne@gspca.org.gg

Anxious about Dogs?

Do you get anxious or scared if there is a dog nearby?

Do you avoid places or situations because of this?

Would you like to change this?

If you have answered “yes” to these questions, then an event on Saturday 21st April could be for you.

The GSPCA in collaboration with the Health and Social Services Department will be running a half day Dog Phobia Workshop at the Animal Shelter.

The event is designed to help those with a phobia of dogs to carefully and gradually reduce their anxieties and is based on the most  up-to-date  research on phobia and anxiety treatment.

To register your details for the next Workshop please email:
