Submitted by Steve on 13:08, 26th Nov, 2014 | 0

Today staff at the GSPCA were overjoyed to wave off Doretta the longest stay rabbit to her new home.

Doretta was brought into the GSPCA for rehomng on the 5th December 2012, which means she has been in need of a loving home for nearly 2 years.

Doretta has seen many rabbits come and go with nearly 200 passing through the Shelter during her time, but today it was her turn.

Doretta has lived out in a pen over looking our pond on Bunny Hop Hill at the GSPCA and has had a lovely time.

Update on the search for Bertie & to download a poster to help in the search (Wednesday 26th November)

Submitted by Steve on 11:38, 26th Nov, 2014 | 0

Although in the last 24 hours we have had no 100% confirmed sightings of Bertie, the day before yesterday in the morning there was a possible sighting near to his home on La Hure Mare Road just off Route Summerfield, which could mean that he may be very close to his home.

We did have a call of a possible stray dog last night in the Perelle area, which could have been Bertie, but we still have no pictures to confirm it was him.

Lucky Lamar the hedgehog & helpful information on what to do if you find one sick or injured

Submitted by Steve on 15:32, 25th Nov, 2014 | 0

With Autumn and Winter upon us it is always a difficult time for hedgehogs.

Last week the GSPCA Ambulance Collection Officer Geoff George was called out to a hedgehog that was trapped in a drain in Castel.

Lamar as she has been called was rushed to the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews where she is being cared for and monitored.

Thankfully she had no major injuries, although a little thin the hedgehog team are keeping a watchful eye on her.
