With less than two months to Christmas we are asking Businesses and Work Places if you could home a counter box for the GSPCA.
We have Season Greetings Robin Pin Badges that need homes this Christmas for a minimum donation of £2 each.
We are thankful to those that already support us with Counter and Collection Boxes that raise funds for the GSPCA.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'It costs over £2000 a day to ensure that we can help the thousands of animals that come through our doors every year.'

Every Autumn the shores of the Bailiwick see Grey Seal pups being born and the GSPCA are issuing advice today on what to do especially with the rough weather that we currently have.
Last year the GSPCA rescued two Grey Seal Pups which were called Jethou Bumblebee and Hanois.
Fortunately both were rescued in time and were able to be rehabilitated at the GSPCA in Guernsey.
Earlier this Spring they were released back in the wild on Jethou and we have had regular sightings of them which certainly warmed the hearts of the GSPCA team.

The GSPCA are pleased to hear that the polluntant that killed and injured more than 4,000 birds, called polyisobutene (PIB) between Cornwall and Sussex, and on the Channel Islands can no longer be dumped at sea after a worldwide ban was agreed.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has reclassified PIBs from 2014 which means ships will only be able to wash their tanks and dispose of all PIB residues while in port.

Last night at 1am the GSPCA Night Wardens Matt Hill-Smith and Jen Bradshaw were called out to a call they weren't expecting.
The GSPCA were contacted by the police to attend the scene at the Men's Toilets at North Beach Car Park in St Peter Port to find three adult Hens perching on the lavatory surrounded by bread.
They were quickly captured by Matt and Jen who transported them to the GSPCA Animal Shelter where Annabelle Janes a member of the GSPCA Night Staff Team checked them all over and made them comfortable.

We are pleased to announce that Jimmy who was rescued last week after being shot by an airgun pellet has been rehabilitated and is now back in the wild.
If it hadn't been for the kind individuals that found Jimmy the Buzzard who has been sexed as female then she would of surely died.
Only days ago Jimmy was released close to where she was found. On route she was very keen to get back to the wild and quickly made off as soon as she had the chance.

Robin is a male adult stray cat that came in extremely thin with multiple health problems.
When first found he even smelt as though he had been living out of a bin for some time.
With no owner found, Robin who has a lovely nature is in desperate need for your help and requires major surgery on his head to remove growths from both ears.
Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'Robin is adorable and has been through a lot already and we now need help to get his ears operated on.'
