Last Monday three staff from Credit Suisse gave up a day in the office for a pair of wellies to help out at the GSPCA.

Chrissie Robert, Stef Mella and Gordon Irish arrived just after 9am where they had a short induction from Animal Welfare and Education Officer Sarah Creasey.

Sarah then collected their completed paperwork and got a picture of the group looking clean and tidy with Annie the shitzu before setting them to work around the Animal Shelter.

Hook the kestrel heads back to the wild today

Submitted by Steve on 10:59, 14th Oct, 2014 | 0

Nearly two weeks ago a kestrel was rescued and brought into the GSPCA from the St Peters area in Guernsey.

The injured bird had a damaged eye and would have likely perished if she hadn't been found.

Hook as the kestrel has been called was initially in an intensive care unit with regular treatment prescribed from the vet and as Hook got stronger progressed into a hospital cage before being placed in one of the soft release aviaries here at the Shelter in St Andrews.

Gannet rescue from Jaonnaise Bay

Submitted by Steve on 14:31, 10th Oct, 2014 | 0

Yesterday the GSPCA were called out to an injured gannet at Jaonnaise Bay.

Animal Collection Officer Geoff George attended the site where he had a fair walk to find the trapped bird.

As the sun was setting during early evening Geoff found the poor bird trapped in discarded fishing netting.

It was difficult to say how long the bird had been there so he quickly restrained the bird got it back to the van and brought the bird back to the Shelter in St Andrews.

The bird has survived over night and staff are currently monitoring its progress.
