A trio of rescued Silkies from Vale now at the GSPCA

Submitted by GSPCA on 15:32, 7th Jun, 2013 | 0

At the GSPCA we are often called regarding abandoned animals.

Last week a concerned member of public spotted a trio of Grey Silkies wandering around the Vale Castle area.

The birds were quite nervous and wasn't able to catch them so called in the GSPCA to assist.

Geoff George the GSPCA Animal Collection Officer attended the seen a number of times last week before he finally managed to catch them.

Safe and sound now at the Shelter they are doing well and there is a home already lined up for them.

Want to Volunteer for the GSPCA? Pop along to the Animal Shelter tomorrow at 6.30pm - Wednesday 5th June 2013

Submitted by GSPCA on 09:06, 4th Jun, 2013 | 0

If we didn't have volunteers at the GSPCA we couldn't exist, as every day kind individuals give up their own time to help the Animal Shelter and the work that goes on around the clock.

In a very basic calculation volunteers gave up well in excess of 13'000 hours during 2012 which is the same as 300 people working one 40 hour week.

From dog walkers to fund raisers, night wardens to receptionists, gardening to mucking out the GSPCA are grateful to each and every person that gives up their time to help the many animals in our care.

Could you help sponsor a new mower for the GSPCA to help keep our grounds tidy

Submitted by GSPCA on 12:19, 30th Apr, 2013 | 0

With Spring comes the growing season and the GSPCA are appealing for funds to help towards a new mower for the Shelter.

With over 3 acres of grounds there is a lot of grass at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

We have been offered a fantastic machine for only £350 and we would love it if someone would be kind enough to help towards it.

The machine would be used to cut the fields and grounds where we walk and exercise the dogs as well as the areas where our resident ducks reside on our pond.
