Submitted by Steve on 11:13, 11th Apr, 2020 | 0

With a stunning day again in Guernsey and hot weather the GSPCA has had a number of reports from concerned members of the public that have seen dogs locked in cars during and we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets.

The GSPCA team have already been out to a number of vehicles with reports of dogs locked inside with little or no ventilation.

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.

We absolutely love to hear from homes that have adopted animals from the GSPCA with pictures and their story of how they are doing

We recently heard from 2 degus adopted from the GSPCA Victoria and Battenburg.

Their new owner Caitlin Baxter said “I recently adopted Victoria and Battenburg the degus from the GSPCA and it says to send in some photos of them once they're settled it, so here they are!”

“They are both very friendly, Battenburg especially, she loves to grab my hand or pull on my clothes when she wants attention.”
