Could you help sponsor a new mower for the GSPCA to help keep our grounds tidy

Submitted by GSPCA on 12:19, 30th Apr, 2013 | 0

With Spring comes the growing season and the GSPCA are appealing for funds to help towards a new mower for the Shelter.

With over 3 acres of grounds there is a lot of grass at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

We have been offered a fantastic machine for only £350 and we would love it if someone would be kind enough to help towards it.

The machine would be used to cut the fields and grounds where we walk and exercise the dogs as well as the areas where our resident ducks reside on our pond.

Join the GSPCA this Friday at the Wayside Cheer Hotel with 2Xtreme to celebrate the safe capture of Slygo the stray terrier

Submitted by GSPCA on 11:38, 23rd Apr, 2013 | 0

After months of wandering the south cliffs of Guernsey Slygo the stray terrier was safely caught in the early hours of this morning.

The GSPCA has been working with the authorities and other charities to capture the nervous little dog that has been stray since February this year.

We must start by thanking all of the press and public in their support as without the combined help of everyone involved we wouldn't have been able to catch him.
