On Saturday Maddie Noyon and a group of her friends came along to the GSPCA for a Birthday guided tour.

Maddie who has just turned 7 years of age got a very special behind the scenes tour with her friends at the Shelter in St Andrews.

On requests we will arrange a special tour for a minimum donation and on Saturday Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager took the group around the site.

From seeing our resident tortoise to stroking Monkey a diabetic cat the girls all had a lovely evening.

A week Monday during the half term why not pop to the GSPCA for a guided tour to see the hundreds of animals in our care.

We ask for a minimum donation of £5 per person and £3 per child, or £15 for a family of four.  Later in the year we have some themed tours which are £15 per child.

World Turtle Day Monday 23rd May - Please HELP Olivia by raising funds or if you know of a plane that can help

Submitted by Steve on 08:25, 20th May, 2016 | 0

This Monday is World Turtle Day.

Could you, your school or work place do something to help the endangered species at the GSPCA.

Olivia the loggerhead turtle after 2 months has finally started eating on her own and we are currently trying to raise either £10000 for a flight for her to the Canary Islands or looking for someone kind enough to help fly her south where she belongs.

On Monday World Turtle Day celebrates turtles around the world and Olivia isn't the only turtle at the Animal Shelter as we also have two musk turtles in our care.

Over the last two Tuesday evenings we have run our cat and dog first aid courses.

Each course started just after 6.30pm and involved learning about how to save a cat or a dogs life and hints and tips on what to do.

Last night we held the Dog First Aid Course which was run by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne and saw 9 dog lovers learning how to help four legged friends in a number of life saving circumstances.

Molly a beagle owned by the GSPCA Manager popped in half way through for those attending to help look for a heart beat in a dog.

A huge thank you to all that supported our stall Taste of Guernsey Seafront Sunday.

This weekend was the first of the Seafront Sundays and saw over 4000 visitors off a cruise liner which made for a very busy day.

Once again we set up just outside Marks and Spencer with all of our fun games, tombolas and a few goods on sale.

We raised over £800 and our stall proved very busy throughout the day which saw quite some sunshine.
