Tomorrow on Sunday 29th April Sidney a rescue dog called Sidney is inviting you to join lots of animal welfare owners and dogs to raise funds for those in need.
Sidney and his owner have organised a sponsored walk to raise funds for the GSPCA and Woodlands Farm Kennels which is where under their and the RSPCA care Sidney was adopted.
Corinne Connolly, Sidney and a group of GSPCA volunteers will be registering walkers from 1pm for a 2pm start at the Grandes Rocgues car park. The walk is just under 5 miles and will finish t The Beachouse at L'Ancresse.
We are always looking for volunteers to help at the Shelter in a variety of roles.
With the dramatic increase in hedgehogs over the past 5 months we are appealing for those interested in helping care and clean the hedgehogs here at the Animal Shelter. In fact we currently have 64 hedgehogs in our care with another on it's way.
Do you get anxious or scared if there is a dog nearby?
Do you avoid places or situations because of this?
Would you like to change this?
If you have answered “yes” to these questions, then an event on Saturday 21st April could be for you.
The GSPCA in collaboration with the Health and Social Services Department will be running a half day Dog Phobia Workshop at the Animal Shelter.
The GSPCA are in full support of the warning issued today regarding the law and not riding motor bikes on the cliff paths.
It puts dog walkers, ramblers and animals at risk.
GSPCA Manager, Steve Byrne said 'It is very concerning to hear that people are not only breaking the law by driving on our coastal paths but they are putting people, animals and themselves at risk.' 'Thankfully we haven't had any accidents with any animals yet but if this continues it is only a matter of time.'
Rollo, the stunning 18 month old Briard, took to the high seas at the end of January having found a wonderful new home with a fantastic family in Jersey.
Accompanied by Welfare and Education Officer, Emma Trousdale, Rollo took the short ferry journey in his stride and arrived no doubt excited about his new life with a fellow Briard called Poppy.
With winter and cold weather with us and potential snow on the way the GSPCA want pet owners and the public 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 cold weather.
But you can also do your bit to prevent animals suffering over the cold period.
DO you have a pond?
Every year the GSPCA have to deal with animals after the Christmas period that become discarded or unwanted after being given as gifts on Christmas Day.
With only a few days until Christmas the GSPCA are asking people not to rush out and get a pet for a Christmas present even if its on Santas list. Instead we ask that the family or household think seriously and if you are looking to bring a new pet into the home then leave it until after the festive period when households return to normal and it is less stressful for a new pet in a new home.
