Oil spill training for wildlife organisations and those involved in helping to alleviate the effects on wildlife of a major oil pollution incident will take place at the Guernsey Society Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) as part of the States of Guernsey preparedness measures on Wednesday 11th September 2013.
With only a few days to go to the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday and the last of the Seafront Sundays for 2013 here is a list of just some of the events and times -
8am Seafront Road closes for setting up of the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday
9.45am Stall holders to have their vehicles off of the Seafront unless permission has been pre arranged
10.00am Military parade along the Seafront to the Town Church
Not got a dog or can't bring it down on the 15th September or you have other pets at home then this is your chance to take part in a show without the need to bring them along.
We are asking pet owners to take pictures of their pets and for 50p per entry per class you can enter your cat, rabbit, horse, donkey, stick insect, tortoise, whatever it may be into a virtual pet show..
Last year the GSPCA were nominated for the 'Charity of the Year Award' at the Community Awards and we would like to ask you if you would vote for us this for 2013 as the Awards are now open.
Whether it is a fundraising project run by a local charity, a group of individuals or a team from a local business, or simply individual members of the public who feel motivated to do something for charity, Guernsey has an exceptional ability to raise money and contribute many man hours to the voluntary and community sector.
On the 14th and 15th August the GSPCA were lucky enough to have help from KPMG staff.
In two groups the staff helped on site at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews and with the Stall at the West Show.
From cleaning out the Animals to dressing up as Giant Animals at the West Show the team from KPMG helped with all matters of tasks.
We have just sent out our Summer edition of our quarterly Newsletter to our members and supporters and here is your chance to see it online.
The Newsletter is packed with lots of information from animals in need of homes, past events, forth coming events, updates on animals and loads more.
Most importantly it is full of information about the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday which takes place on the 15th September.
This year we have seen 13 stray tortoise and currently we have 2 at the Shelter.
All 11 that came in earlier in the year are back with their owners but Ridley as he's been named above by Shelter staff and Fabian below both came in last week.
Ridley was found in the Camp du Roi area and Fabian was found at L'Ancresse.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'This year we have seen more stray Tortoise than ever before.'
'If anyone has lost any pet we always urge them to report it at the Shelter as we see anywhere between 50 and sometimes over 100 stray animals every month.'
Tomorrow which is Saturday the 31st August the GSPCA will be collecting at our last two locations for the last part of our annual Flag Day.
Many of the spots at the two Marks and Spencer stores are filled but we welcome anyone that can and would like to help.
The two locations are -
If you can help please call me at the Shelter today on 257261.
