Survey from the GSPCA - With the UK making it compulsory to microchip dogs what should we do in Guernsey for our pets?

Submitted by Steve on 14:41, 14th Jun, 2015 | 0

At the GSPCA we help thousands of lost and found animals in Guernsey every year and we would like to know your views in relation to compulsory microchipping of pets in Guernsey.

In the UK many dog owners will be unprepared for new legislation which makes it compulsory to microchip their pets from April 2016.

We continue to monitor Jessie the stray beagle cross who is becoming more confident around our trap although still extremely nervous of people.

GSPCA staff and volunteers continue to monitor her movements, feeding and drinking habits and hope to soon be close to catching her for her owners.

Even today we are aware of where she is and team members have been monitoring her.

We are working closely with Jessie's owners to help in the search of their dog and we all appreciate the wonderful public support and reports so far.

Over the last few days Jessie the stray beagle cross has been basing herself on the west coast.

On the weekend GSPCA staff, volunteers and members of the public were very close to catching her and today sightings at Grandes Rocques meant a GSPCA team were dispatched but once again she managed to disappear.

We are asking those living on the west coast and near Cobo, Port Soif, Grandes Rocques and Rousse to keep an eye open for Jessie.
