Guided Tours sell out at the GSPCA - more coming soon and special tours available

Submitted by Steve on 23:28, 6th Jun, 2016 | 0

Last week during the half term we held tours around the GSPCA to see the hundreds of animals in our care.

Every Spring we help hundreds of baby birds, hedgehogs and many more wild animals and birds.

The guided tours took groups of over 20 each day behind the scenes and due to the numbers of animals many of the tours took over 2 hours.

We asked for a minimum donation of £5 per person and £3 per child, or £15 for a family of four and many gave additional donations and bought items in the shop and charity shop on site.

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.

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.
