GSPCA helping in the search for Bertie - any sightings please do not chase after him, but call 257261

Submitted by Steve on 17:44, 13th Nov, 2014 | 0

Today at the GSPCA we met with Clive and Lynn McMinn to help in the search of Bertie.

As many will know on Saturday near the Vale Primary School around 6pm a 7 year old grey Schnauzer rescue dog called Bertie was scared by bonfire displays and escaped from his back garden.

The GSPCA are helping co-ordinate the search for Bertie and have a working map with sightings, locations, dates and times.

We would like to highlight that Bertie is a very timid little lad especially with men and people he doesn't know.

Friday June 27th is Bring Your Dog to Work Day

Submitted by Steve on 10:46, 19th Jun, 2014 | 0

Next Friday June 27th is Bring Your Dog to Work Day.

Having a dog in the room can make human colleagues more cooperative, reduce stress, increase job satisfaction and productivity.

When adopting a dog or any animal from the GSPCA we often ask how many hours potential owners may be at work.  Perhaps the question should actually be - are you able to take your dog to work?

Discussing the benefits of taking a dog to work might just result in a match with a dog we have in for homing.

Tally the GSPCA dog helps save a life in Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 15:31, 11th Jun, 2014 | 0

Last week the GSPCA were approached to ask the question if we had a life saving dog.

Sadly a dog had been rushed to Isabelle Vets with health problems which meant the dog required a blood transfusion.

The GSPCA has over 200 animals at the Shelter from dogs to birds, cats to a horse and we the GSPCA team took a dog Tally up to the vets to see if he would be suitable.

Tally is an energetic lively dog lwho has come in to the Animal Shelter to find a new home.  He is a 6 year old flat coated retriever and loves people.

The GSPCA couldn’t carry out saving, rescuing and caring for the thousands of animals that come through the doors every year without the support of the staff and volunteers that work tirelessly every day and night.

To recognise the team at the GSPCA we have been asking for nominations to recognise the staff and volunteers for their dedication, hard work and outstanding effort.

Nominations were accepted both in house, online and via the post and we received an overwhelming number of wonderful comments for five staff in particular and fifteen volunteers each quarter.
