Last Friday as part of their Service to the Community Day 22 students and 2 teachers from Blanchelande College spent the day at the GSPCA Animal Shelter.
From running a Coffee Morning to Cake Sale, Bric-a-brac Sale to walking dogs, cleaning out the seal room to washing out pools, and not to mention a very important job.......
You may remember back in March Clinton Millard appealed for sponsors towards his climb of Kilimanjaro earlier this year.
He was raising funds for both the GSPCA and MUG. We are pleased to report that Clinton achieved his goal and raised a fantastic total of £950 which has been shared between the two charities.
This Friday 21st June 2013 20 students from Blanchelande College are helping at the GSPCA in lots of ways as part of their Service to the Community Day.
The students will be running a coffee morning and bric-a-brac sale between 10am and 3pm at the Shelter and will even have a lovely selection of cakes on sale.
Nearly 2 months to the day since the grey seal pups Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois were released by the GSPCA back into local waters and a month since they were last spotted we are pleased to announce that the residents of Jethou spotted them once again back in the bay where they were released yesterday afternoon.
The Christmas Lottery this year is helping save lives.
Thanks to a grant from the Christmas Lottery the GSPCA have been able to purchase an additional 5 Intensive Care Units.
June is always a busy month for the GSPCA as we are inundated with young animals and birds.
Currently the GSPCA has many young birds, baby hedgehogs, kittens, baby bunnies, new born degus, not to mention many sick and injured animals and birds.
The team at the GSPCA were overjoyed to be one of the many worthy causes to receive a grant to help purchase additional Intensive Care Units.
The GSPCA and RSPB in Guernsey want you and your dog to enjoy your walk but we are appealing to owners to take care when you are out walking.
Spring and early Summer is the main season when your dog needs to be properly controlled to protect young farm animals and ground-nesting birds.
Ground nesting birds during the bird breeding season, which is usually April to July is a time when we are asking you to keep your dog under close control or on a short lead in areas where they may be nesting.
Over the last few weeks the GSPCA have been receiving baby birds on a daily basis and the Animal Shelter would like to remind everyone what to do if you find a young bird.
As a general rule, it is best to leave baby birds alone.
A baby bird has a greater chance of survival in the wild than it has being hand-reared by man as they learn to fend for themselves and how to forage for food by their parents.
Around 2 weeks after hatching young birds in your Bailiwick garden usually leave the nest, just before they learn how to fly.
The GSPCA are reminding dog walkers to make the most of the sunshine today on the beaches as it is the last day you can take your canine friend on quite a few until the 1st October.
Dogs are not allowed on or off lead on the following beaches between 1st May – 30th Sept:
Fermain
Petit Bot
L’Eree
The Northern end of Vazon
Port Soif
Cobo
L’Ancresse / Pembroke
