This Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd August it is the North Show and the GSPCA will be there with a stall for the eighth year in a row.
Not only will we have a stall but you may see one or two GSPCA Mascots walking about.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "This summer is extraordinarily busy for us at the GSPCA between the 500+ animals that we have at the Shelter to all of the fantastic events of which many we attend."
"The North Show is always a wonderful event and at the GSPCA we are so grateful to them to be allowed to join them once again."
Today is World Lizard Day and at the GSPCA we have 10 in our care.
There are 9 Bearded Dragons and 1 Moroccan Eyed Lizard currently in our care needing support and 9 in need of new homes.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Today is World Lizard Day and we currently have 10 in our care.”
“We have 1 Moroccan Eyed Lizard and 9 Bearded Dragons in need of support.”
“They are exotic pets so you need the right setup and knowledge to look after them but they can make great pets if you know what you are doing and prepared to give them the care that they need.”
Last night we held our 9th Volunteer Induction of 2019 and greeted 11 new faces keen to help.
The all ladies induction was taken by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who greeted the group from which the youngest was 12 and turns 13 later this month which is the age to start to help with the animals.
From gardening to caring for the animals each of the ladies were keen to help in a variety of way.
The first of the group start tomorrow morning with the others later on this month.
For the eighth year in a row the GSPCA are attending the West Show which will be held on Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th August 2019.
If you would like to help volunteer of support us we would love to see you on our stall.
If you can help please call 257261 or email [email protected]
Once again our stall will be full of great games & GSPCA goods.
Every year we have a great time enjoying a wonderful local event whilst raising funds on our stall to help the many animals in our care.
Do you have an hour or more each week you can help us at the GSPCA?
We have a stunning site in St Andrews and have developed a number of areas for wildlife and visitors.
We are in need of volunteers to help care for the grounds and our site and would love to hear from anyone interested.
A few of the roles we are in need of help include –
Just after lunch today the last two Guernsey seal pups from the last breeding season were released back into the wild.
Mambo who was rescued near Fort Doyle on the 4th February and Hannah was found near the Fairy Ring two weeks later and was the sixth seal pup to arrive into our care last winter.
It has been an extremely busy year for grey seal pups with two from Jersey and 4 rescued in Guernsey.
On Monday we hold 9th Volunteer Induction of 2019 having inducted 87 volunteers through this years events.
We often see 10 or more new volunteers, placements, work experience and individuals looking to help us at the GSPCA and if 13 come along to the next event we will have inducted 100 volunteers through them this year.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We cannot achieve so much without the incredible volunteers and team we have here at the GSPCA.”
“We love to meet new volunteers and our next induction is at 630pm on Monday 12th August.”
The GSPCA are hugely thankful to the regular and continued support of Le Friquet Garden Centre.
Not only have they helped volunteer, with unique projects and events like Family Fun Days and our Memorial Garden, but ever month they supply much needed goods and items for the animals in our care.
At the beginning of each month a member of the GSPCA team head down to Le Friquet Garden Centre to collect much needed supplies for the animals in our care.
