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.

Submitted by Steve on 16:12, 24th Mar, 2014 | 0

Yesterday 13 new students were trained in Dog First Aid.

With thousands of dogs kept as pets around the Bailiwick, yesterday the GSPCA held the second session with 13 new dog first aiders who spent the morning learning their ABC for dogs to what to do if their dog had a seizure.

The group enjoyed not only learning about what to do, but also got a chance to meet Mickey a Basset Hound who is at the Shelter and made a very good model and let those taking part find the heart beat.

Pepe is one of the older dogs in need of that forever home at the GSPCA in Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 17:51, 21st Mar, 2014 | 0

At the GSPCA we always have many animals in need of new homes.

Often the dogs find homes very quickly as we have a list of those looking but sometimes the older dogs are harder to find that forever home.

One of these older chaps in need is Pepe. Pepe is a lovely little dog facing many challenges as he has limited eye sight; but he can see shadows and loves people and is a spritely little man.
