GSPCA Dog treat appeal and Amazon Wish List gifts

Submitted by Steve on 21:27, 31st May, 2023 | 0

With over 400 animals in our care and over 3000 through our doors each year there are many things we use and need 24/7 365 days a year and many Wish List ideas for the animals in our care on our Amazon Wish List.

There are many ways to support our work and every penny makes a huge difference during these difficult times.  There are a huge range of ways in which you can support our work and help us care for the animals at the GSPCA.

Currently at the GSPCA we are appealing for dog teats as we are running very low.

Stow away snakes from Mexico and Spain make it to Guernsey and the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 16:45, 26th May, 2023 | 0

Last week the GSPCA did not  have 1 but 2 calls to  rescue snakes that managed to travel the huge distance to Guernsey.

On the 18th May GSPCA team member Neil Hughes was called out to a local Garden Centre kitchen where a snake had stowed away with cabbages from Spain.

Tiny Tim as the very small snake has been called is a Viperine Snake which does have venom for their prey but they do not bite as a form of defence and even if it did would be harmless to humans.

The GSPCA are warning dog walkers taking their four legged friends to local commons of a current concern.

There appears to be large numbers of what we believe are thorny seeds from what is believed is the Erodium cicutarium also know as Redstem Storks Bill which get caught in your dogs feet and fur along many of the commons and grassy areas especially L’Ancresse, Port Soif and Chouet,
