The GSPCA had a great event on the 15th June with the Guernsey Round Table Harbour Carnival 2018.

Once again we were on the Albert Pier and raised hundreds of pounds for the man animals in our care and talked to many interested or keen to support our work with animals.

This year the GSPCA had a team of Puffins in the Man Powered Flight consisting of two staff members and a willing volunteer.

The team had great fun making their costumes and even more fun jumping into the Harbour at this classic Guernsey event.

Hot Cars Kill Dogs & hot pavements damage feet- GSPCA have been called to a number of dogs left in vehicles in recent days

Submitted by Steve on 07:28, 27th Jun, 2018 | 0

The GSPCA during hot weather often receive reports from concerned members of the public that have seen dogs locked in cars and the recent few days have been no different

The GSPCA team have 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.

Huge thanks to Petplan Charitable Trust helping towards our GSPCA Urgent Kennel Appeal and dogs like Scruffy

Submitted by Steve on 17:13, 26th Jun, 2018 | 0

The GSPCA would like to say a huge thank you to the Petplan Charitable Trust.

As a result of our recent Urgent Kennel Appeal the Petplan Charitable Trust have donated £5,000 to this must needed and urgent work.

Over the last two months much needed work on the kennel floors has taken place, but this uncovered major drain and structural issues.

Our kennels which were built in 2005 had a vinyl flooring put down which had sadly got to a point recently where new flooring was desperately needed which has been taking place since mid May.
