Happy Birthday Ella Gidney - a special behind the scenes at the GSPCA as a birthday treat

Submitted by Steve on 17:26, 30th Nov, 2015 | 0

Last week Ella Gidney and a group of her friends came along to the GSPCA for a Birthday guided tour.

Ella who has just turned 10 years of age got a very special behind the scenes tour with her friends at the Shelter in St Andrews.

On requests we will arrange a special tour for a minimum donation and last week Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager took the group around the site.

From seeing our resident tortoise to stroking Monkey a diabetic cat the girls all had a lovely evening.

GSPCA Slovakian Puppy 2016 Calendars on sale

Submitted by Steve on 14:39, 30th Nov, 2015 | 0

One of the BIGGEST cases in our long history happened this year when 25 puppies which were from Slovakia were stopped at the harbour in very concerning conditions and were headed for the UK.

Shortly after we found out that all pups were to stay in Guernsey and be rehomed locally, photographer Liz Kerr came in to take a few pictures and has kindly put together a calendar for 2016 to raise funds for the GSPCA to help the hundreds of animals currently in our care.

2016 calendars starring the Slovakian puppies cost just £15 each.

As the bad weather continues and grey seal pups due - advice on what to do if you see a sick seal pup from the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 09:47, 18th Nov, 2015 | 0

Every Autumn the shores of the Bailiwick see grey seal pups being born, and the GSPCA are issuing advice today because of the inclement weather we have seen recently.

The earliest seal we have rescued in recent years was Jethou Bumblebee who was found during the last week of November back in 2012.

During the last few winters the GSPCA have rescued four Grey Seal Pups in total.  Two in 2013/14 Eden and Trinity and the previous winter Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois.
