GSPCA advice and information appeal on the stray terrier in Forest

Submitted by GSPCA on 15:49, 7th Apr, 2013 | 1

A stray wire haired terrier has been missing for almost 8 weeks and has last been seen in the Forest area.

The GSPCA, Commerce and Employment and local authorities are working together to safely capture the lost little dog.

Unfortunately the small tan wire haired terrier was originally part of a cruelty case in the UK and recently rehomed in Guernsey.  As such the dog is extremely nervous and timid, meaning it is fearful of humans.

Submitted by GSPCA on 20:57, 6th Feb, 2013 | 0

It has been announced that every dog owner in England will have to microchip their animal by April 2016 to help cut the growing number of strays.  The government says owners who refuse to comply with changes to the Animal Welfare Act face fines of up to £500.

In the UK Government figures reveal that more than 100,000 dogs are dumped, stray or lost each year, at a cost of £57m to the taxpayer and welfare charities and organisations.

Taking care of your pets with the cold weather coming

Submitted by GSPCA on 14:09, 12th Jan, 2013 | 0

With cold weather coming and potential sleet and snow on the way the GSPCA want pet owners to consider all the animals of Guernsey. During a cold snap the GSPCA are on full alert, ready to deal with a variety of animals affected by the low temperatures.

But you can also do your bit to prevent animals suffering over the cold period.

Do you have a pond?

If you have a pond, make sure you check it every day for ice, as toxic gases can build up in the water of a frozen pond. These can kill fish or frogs that are hibernating at the bottom.

Douzaines Supporting the GSPCA

Submitted by GSPCA on 17:36, 11th Jan, 2013 | 0

The Douzaines of five parishes; St Peter Port, Castel, St Saviour, St Pierre du Bois and St Martins have agreed to support the GSPCA’s dog microchipping and registration initiative in 2013 by meeting the initial cost of microchipping through the dog licence fee.

The scheme is entirely voluntary but the Douzaines hope dog owners will avail themselves of this opportunity to ensure their dogs can be easily and quickly identified should they stray or be involved in an accident.
