Guernsey Gourmet Cream Fudge have just launched a new fudge to be given as a gift and will help animals in Guernsey.
The new bars are labeled as a gift with 'Thank you for looking after the dog!' and 'Thank you for looking after the cat!'.
The bars are on sale at the GSPCA and around shops in Guernsey and display the GSPCA logo as each bar sold Guernsey Gourmet Food will donate 10p.
All ingredients have been sourced from sources that wouldn't have harmed animals and the GSPCA are extremely grateful for the kind donation to be given for the sale of each bar.

On Saturday a member of the GSPCA were called out to rescue two turtles and two goldfish which were found outside in a very dirty tank.
When Geoff George Animal Collection Officer rescued the fish and turtles he had to quickly try and find a location with appropriate tanks to help temporarily house them whilst facilities were arranged at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Thankfully staff at the Friquet Garden Centre in Castel offered their services where all four were transported to place them in suitable conditions.

Nearly two weeks since they were rescued and our 3 hoglets eyes have started to open and are doing very well.
Widge, Midge and Fidge were rescued after being found with no mother in sight.
Ambulance Collection Officer Geoff George attended the scene in Torteval where they were found all alone in a shed.
We are pleased to report the baby hoglets have been feeding well and are now trying to escape from their bed whenever they get the chance.

The GSPCA would like to report we are moving forward trying to catch Jessie the stray dog.
Jessie the stray beagle cross is being seen on multiple occasions in and around the St Martins and st Andrews area and we now have her feeding in and around the trap we have which we are using to try and catch her.
Although GSPCA team members have got within metres of Jessie she is extremely nervous and takes off at speed when approached so we are using the trap as the best way to capture her.

Jessie the stray beagle cross is being seen on multiple occasions in and around the St Martins and st Andrews area.
Although GSPCA team members have got within metres of Jessie she is extremely nervous and takes off at speed when approached.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We have had quite a few sightings of Jessie but as soon as she is approached she takes off at speed."
"We were working in an area to try and trap her but she seems to have moved on from where she was bedding down."

Just over two months ago GSPCA Welfare Manager Lorna Prince was called to Les Eturs Veterinary practice to assess a dog that had been rushed into their care. Betty, a beautiful English Bull Terrier, had arrived at the surgery suffering with brain seizures, she couldn’t stand up, hold her head up and was blind. Betty was extremely malnourished and weighed less than a third of the weight a healthy English Bull at 13 kgs.

We are always looking for happy endings at the GSPCA and this week we’ve had two tortoise success stories.
Last week two stray tortoise were found one near Oatlands and another in St Saviour’s.
We advertised them both on our web site and social media and thanks to our facebook page both owners saw their beloved pets and contacted us and were shortly after reunited.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It was lovely to reunite both tortoise with their owners Monroe as we called her was actually Charlie and Hugo was actually called Troy.”

Every day animals in need find their way to the GSPCA or we are called out to rescue them.
Earlier this month we had to free a hedgehog from a rat trap.
'Nugget' as the GSPCA named the adult male hedgehog was rescued from the St Sampson's area.
Sadly the team at the GSPCA couldn't free the hedgehog from the trap so a quick call was made to the local fire station and the hedgehog was transported so that their team could help release Nugget from the wire cage.
