The Guernsey Arts Commission earlier this month worked with multiple organisations to promote inclusivity with in the arts. Arts Sunday was a day where everyone no matter what age or ability was able to enjoy the arts, take part in workshops and meet new people. There was an opportunity to participate in live music, dancing, arts, craft and so much more….

Once again the GSPCA were able to join them for another great event and would like to thank the organisors, all involved and all that supported a great day celebrating the arts in Guernsey.

Last month on the 9th May the GSPCA were not only very busy at the Shelter and around Guernsey rescuing animals, we were also out with two stalls.

Both stalls were incredibly busy and raised over £2500 between them and we must say a huge thanks to all that helped and supported such a great day of celebrations.

WEATHER WARNING FROM THE GSPCA WITH RISING TEMPERATURES DUE - Hot Cars Kill Dogs & hot pavements damage feet

Submitted by Steve on 23:05, 27th Jun, 2019 | 0

The GSPCA during hot weather often receive reports from concerned members of the public that have seen dogs locked in cars and with warm weather upon us we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets

The GSPCA team have already been out to a number of vehicles with reports of dogs locked inside with little or no ventilation.

With the warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs in cars are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.

Submitted by Steve on 22:57, 27th Jun, 2019 | 0

After months of care and 3 already released to the wild the 3 remaining seals are on the final stretch to the next part of their journey and life.

Having released Marty back in Jersey as well as Gully and Sealia on Jethou recently we now only have Hannah, Mambo and Andy left in our care.

Hannah and Mambo are doing incredibly well but need their final feeds of herring and mackerel and all donations of fresh fish or towards fish are hugely appreciated to fatten them up before their release very soon.

Submitted by Steve on 21:48, 27th Jun, 2019 | 0

Charles arrived at the GSPCA at the end of April as his owner could no longer care for him.

Guinea pigs are thankfully found homes quite quickly from the GSPCA and last Monday Charles found a loving new home.

Lisa Le Poidevin new owner said last week “Charles has settled in quite well.” 

“He seems a bit nervous when it's cuddle time but with some hay or a treat around he relaxes again “

“I'm still just swapping my piggy Toffee's hay with his and they both seem happy enough with the new smells.”
